Well, where do we start? Not at the beginning, but as of today! The beginning was quite a few years ago and another farm, another lifetime ago.
The great thing about farming in Canada, but especially the Okanagan, is the change in the seasons. Spring time brings a whole new start, a whole new chance to get things going again. There is always that feeling of excitement and anticipation of what the new year will bring.
This year on the farm we are starting off with more asparagus! New plantings in our beautiful sandy loam soil.
Our little JD tractor is just right for planting, it's just like using a ride-on mower, and purrs like a happy cat
This is the little antique planter mentioned in Jens blog, Tractors and Lipgloss. It looks really very decrepit, but looks can be deceiving, this little gem has lasted for decades and planted acres of asparagus in it's time. It is owned by some very good friends of ours at Frederick Farms just down the road.

Congrats on starting your new blog, it looks great! I love the big sky, it reminds me of the Okanagan.
Happy Farming!

Well we love asparagus and eat it weekly so I will be a big fan for sure. Welcome to blog land. We are a nice bunch and we hardly ever are mean...ask Jen...right Jen? Jen? Tell her we are nice.
I look forward to seeing what goes on there on your farm.
Congrats on your new blog. It's always lovely to meet another Canadian blogger, especially Jen's sister. Looking forward to reading more.
Welcome to blogging! You're going to have a lot of fun.
WELCOME! I'm very curious about asparagus so this is just great! I haven't been to the Okanagan in ages it seems, I'm on the south tip Vancouver Island near Victoria. You'll have so much fun blogging and meeting new people - that's how I "met" Jen, she is so super nice and has a beautiful blog. Welcome again!
Love it!! Haha I knew you would/could do it :) Looking forward to your stories as well. The planter looks so much better after a little TLC from Tim...I was worried by the time he roaded it from our place to yours all he would have left is a wheel!

Welcome to the bloggig world, you will meet some of the greatest gardeners in the world. Jen sent me over...you blog looks wonderful and I am curious to follow along.
Welcome to blogging - a pair of muddy boots pointed me this way. Wonderful to see good soil used for farming, not built over, for yet another housing estate.
You're off to a great start! I'm a big fan of Jen's blog so I know yours will be fun, too! Have fun! And welcome to the world of blogging! ♥ It's a great place to make friends! ♥
Welcome to the blogosphere! I just came over from Muddy Boot Dreams and am so happy to begin following your blog and the chronicles of your farm.

Welcome to the world of blogging. I started my blog in the fall-- September--when the garden was going pretty dormant. I have met some really interesting and fine bloggers. It's just fun to tell your own stories and more so read others' stories. I would say that asparagus is my favorite vegetable. It is quite expensive to buy, but as a child we wandered the ditch banks and road sides gathering the wild asparagus. I have been tempted to add it to my garden; any tips. cheers and good luck ann.
Have been a fan of Jen's for ages. Sisters are 'the bestest' (and so is asparagus)! Have fun on your blogging journey.
Welcome to blogging! I am excited to have another farm blog to read. :) Hope you can stop by my farm for a visit. Your weather looks beautiful.....we farm in North Central North Dakota.
