This past trip around the sun was a strange one. The one little bit of snow that fell, actually happened when we were out of town. Thus it really was a winter-less year for us. It didn't really even get that cold, at least that I noticed much. I remarked to a farmer-colleague the other day that we may be evolving to a Sonoma-plus humidity climate. Our growing season is already fairly long and this winter was even shorter. That being said, however, there is a freeze warning for the next couple of days. I bet the fruit growers are a bit nervous right now because I think most have already pruned, despite the calendar.
I finally broke down and purchased a 3-point rotary tiller. Those of you following the blog may remember that I debated at long length on the question of tillage implements. I am actually glad to have the turning plow for sod areas, but the tiller really does a nice job. I used it to put the barley in and I will report on that operation later.
