A few setbacks but still kicking!!

Last weekend we transplanted the Pea's.  We started 3 different types and planted around 600 feet so far in total 6" apart.  We soon found out that the wind doesn't help with establishment & growth of the peas.  A few days later we inspected them & the leaves are pretty dried out but they are still alive & there is still hope that they will pull through.  We experienced the most wind ever last week we even saw a small Tornado in the making behind the river about half a kilometer away from where we were planting.  It is very common for this type of wind we are now told...this is our first season in Oliver.  All the plants in the greenhouse are looking really good.  Tonight was the first night that we dined on fresh Kale & Spinach, it was so good!  It truly feels amazing to eat from your own garden and to know exactly what went into growing and producing the product that you are putting into your body.  This week we plan to finish planting the rest of the peas, lettuce & to install the second roll up side on our greenhouse for heat management.  We also need to spread out the piles of manure onto our field to prepare for major crop planting at the end of this month.  As we look to the mountains to the east we are told that when the last patch of snow melts than it is time for us to plant, that will be the sign.  We are a little worried about the 100 fir tree's that we planted last month, it looks like only about 30% of them show signs of new growth and the rest seem pretty fragile, dry & wind damaged.  We are doing our best to bring them back but we may have to chalk this up to a loss & a lesson learned.  Until next week!
