The Cove

Duluth is experiencing “its earliest string of above-freezing high temperatures in 132 years,” according to the Duluth News Tribune today. I’d be pleased as punch if the early spring continued; warm and dry weather would allow me to get an early start in the field, which was looking a bit soggy yesterday after 3 days of rain. As soon as the ground finishes thawing, it should be able to soak up the water, but for now, bring your galoshes.

East Field

West Fields

The eastern field is draining the best — it has ditches on two sides of it now, so that makes sense. I’ll use the east field for growing veggies this year. The farther west you go, the soggier the fields get. The area we call “the cove,” which is sheltered by trees on three sides, is still covered in snow.
