On the farm this week: Well, we got hit pretty hard by the hail storm the other day, we will be replacing plastic on some of our tunnels this summer due to some big holes. We lost a few crops in the storm but for the most part, things survived ok. We are planting out our cucumbers and Mellons in our tunnels and looking forward to some more heat to get things growing!
