Greenhouse frames
Yesterday, as I was outside talking with my husband Rod, while he was erecting our greenhouses, several flocks of Canadian geese flew over. As we are only 3 miles from Fort Cobb Lake, many geese stay in the area all winter. It caused Rod to remember a Disney movie he had seen years ago about stopping the wild geese on their southward migration. He couldn’t remember the name of the movie, so I Googled it, found out it was “Those Calloways”, and we watched it on Amazon last night. It struck a special cord with us as that family was struggling to make it on a farm in the wilderness. Their struggles to build a house and put their crops in were familiar to us, as when we bought this farm, it was only a raw 80 acre farm with a deep irrigation well and no pump. After two years, we have a packing shed and office built, and greenhouses are now going up. Our first growing season was about the worst, weather-wise, that it could have been, but we still managed to have quite alot of great veggies, and are hoping for a better season this year. We appreciate everyone that has purchased our vegetables this past year and are looking forward to serving you through our Veggie Clubs, farmers’ market and Oklahoma Food Co-op in 2012.
