In an unexpected move today, Morning Meadows management has traded young sensation Carl "Cuckoo" Marans. The talented Marans is now assigned to the Medway team where we're sure he will be productive. The move to trade came as a surprise as Marans was just coming into his own. "This kid can really crow", commented veteran manager Carrie Taylor. Marans was traded for 10 young prospects. "This trade was necessary for the future of the club" said Taylor, "They're a fine group of feather footed Cochins". Hopefully, this will be a great start to what appears to be a few more lineup changes here early in the season. In fact, rumor has it that the Morning Meadows team may just be in the process of starting a minor league franchise. Time will tell.

Just when it seemed like it would never arrive, it's finally the Ides of March! Always a highly anticipated time here on the farm as it's the day that the garden is awakened from it's winter slumber to prepare for the growing season ahead. Always on the 15th of March, we have planted our early green onions. We have planted them through rain and snow and even by flashlight a few times. In 1993, just a few days after knee surgery, I was out in the garden on a crutch planting onions. This year, however, the weather was almost perfect! The temperature was a warm 60 degrees and mostly sunny. The soil was warming and loose. With a bit of rain expected in the next few days, these bulbs should be active by next week! In addition to onions, this year we are also trying a few other early crops. We have started a small area of rocket arugula. A very quick growing, cold hardy salad green with a very peppery flavor. We usually wait until April to sow this one, but after seeing it come through some harsh weather last year, we think it'll be tough enough to get an early start.Well, the spring season has officially begun here on the farm, even if not on the calendar. More and more activity to come every week now.
