I fell and broke my wrist a week ago last Monday. I figure this is a fairly good explanation for the lack of recent entries here. I have several ideas for entries, but I’m not up to doing much typing yet.
Turns out there are a number of things I have trouble doing one-handed. I had to hire in an extra worker to help at the farm yesterday, so it turns out the broken wrist is also painful in the wallet.
The continuing series of rains has kept the fields too wet to work, so as the fieldwork falls behind schedule, at least I can blame the weather rather than my broken wrist.
I can mouse around on the computer and turn pages, so I’ve been doing more research on a number of topics, including possible herbs to add for essential oils or teas and additional plants to use as cover crops. I have been adding more tasks to my list at a much greater rate than I have managed to complete any.
I’m hoping that soon I can get back to shrinking the task list. There’s a whole lot to get done.

Hope that your wrist heals quickly and that you are able to shrink the task list soon. Reece and I enjoyed our time with the animals today.

I’m glad you came to the farm today. It’s great to have volunteers like you and Reece come down to the farm and help out.
