Today we took the kids out to the farm to transplant the first lettuce (Black Seeded Simpson, Forellenschluss, Merlot, Green Deer Tongue), broccoli (Fiesta and Green King), and some kohlrabi (Kolribi).  The ground was completely saturated after yesterday’s heavy rain, but we learned a couple of years ago that you can tuck seedlings into mud and they’ll usually do ok.

We also learned yesterday that, if the kids wander away from the work, and then things are really quiet, it means they’ve gone behind the barn to have a mud ball fight!
