They're Here!

On Sunday night we made 9 pizzas.   No joke.  The rest of our crew arrived Sunday afternoon and we started the season off right with lots of cheese and creativity.

I can tell we're going to have a great crew this season.  Hopefully we will hear from Stuart, Hallie and Dawn on this blog soon!

Earlier in the week Lisa, Ashley, and I did the first plantout of the season.  Two and a half beds, in the field we call South Dakota, are holding our first heads of lettuce, broccoli, and baby lettuces.  It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and I remember thinking that there was nothing else I would have rather been doing.  For the first three hours anyway.  Then my body began to remind me that I wasn’t exactly in the physical shape I had been at the peak of last summer.  (Let’s face facts; I was downright lazy this winter.)  However, at the end of the day I looked out at the field and felt that my work had been not only personally satisfying, but moved to know that my efforts were a part of something larger than me.
