Spring brings its own
particular land of work.
Seeding is uppermost m
farmers’ and gardeners’
minds. As we’ve had a late
and wet Spring, everyone
tries to take advantage of the
sunny days.
My sugar peas were
planted at least two weeks
late this year. But maybe it
won’t make that big a dif
ference at harvest time. I
heard of a fellow who
planted his peas m March
and then went to Florida for
two weeks. When he came
back and saw only bare
ground m his garden, he
accused his neighbor of
mowing off his peas. Ap
parently, they simply had
not sprouted as yet.
Just before the garden was
worked, I dug some parsnips
and the last of my leeks
which I’d blanched over the
winter. And while I was
working outside, I gathered
some young dandelion plants
as no Spring would be
complete without dandelion
salad on the table.
When I trim our black
raspberries, it hurts me

thorns all over my hands.
But when I trim our
blueberries, its hurts me a
different way. You see what
I mean is that after studying
the big bushes and trying to
decide which branches to
eliminate it really hurts me
to saw off an old six foot high
limb m order to get more
hght to the other three and
four year old wood which I’m
told will bear the most
berries. We’ve had our
bushes for many years and
m the Fall their bright red
leaves form a mce edging
between the field and our
driveway.
The other day I was very
surprised to see a pair of
wild geese in my garden,
just a few feet from the
house, when I looked out my
kitchen window. They even
allowed us to take then
picture. They’ve decided to
stay here on the Conestoga
and nest as I often hear and
see them flying low over our
meadow as they are
disturbed by fishermen and
hikers. They too are busy in
their own way.
