Hello Spring?

Digging potatoes with a friend last season.

Today Keeneland opened it’s spring season and was heralded by a spontaneous snowstorm, which happened to coincide with the last races of the day. There’s about half an inch of snow on the ground and thankfully the horses are tucked into their straw beds by now and away from the nasty winds that whip through the grounds.

Meanwhile, onion transplants and potatoes are waiting for our burst of winter weather to subside and I’m trying to get enough courage to brave the cold and plant more peas and greens in the next few days. Forty degrees sounds downright balmy at this point.
