We had the lovely surprise of this flush of mushrooms on our wood chip path, which is a sign of success for folks like us who are trying to turn a field into a forest!
The spring beds have been shaped into pods instead of rows this year. Some areas have been sitting under a pile of compost, while others have been cover cropped. We will see how these various techniques work this spring. All the classic spring veggies have been planted.

The river looks impressive with its increased volume after recent spring storms.
