Dear CSA family,
I'd like to say it feels like Spring, but right now it is feeling a bit like we are back to winter. We have a fire in the wood stove, and the guys are out covering up the plants, and we are praying that we won't get a frost tonight (Saturday). We moved to TN in 1995 and I remember well hearing the old-timers talking about "Red Bud Winter", then there was "Dogwood Winter", and finally "Blackberry Winter". It all sounded a bit strange and unscientific to us, but after living here 24 years we are starting to think there may be something to all those winters. Today I caught myself telling someone, "This has got to be 'Blackberry Winter' and Spring is surely right around the corner". Well, who really knows, but one thing I do know is that we picked our first couple pints of strawberries! Yes that's right STRAWBERRIES
