Land Love

Posted: November 10th, 2011

After many truck trips down route 9, Ten Speed Farm has moved once again. I’m settling in to my new digs – tossing composted manure into every corner, planting garlic, drawing maps, patting my landlord’s fine Chesapeake Bay Retriever (who is ironically named Tiny) when she visits, and gleefully scheming about next season. Early carrots! New tomato varieties! Golden beets! More celeriac! Okay, maybe I’m the only one who’s actually excited about that. But really, what’s not to love about a vegetable that looks like an alien space monster?

One question remains: How in the world do I move a 10′x30′ hoophouse five miles down the road without a) smashing a truck window, b) scraping PVC limbs all over route 9, or c) cutting it into so many pieces that it can’t be reassembled. Hmm…

In any case, I am in Land Love. Hooray!
