Calling for rain

The forecast is calling for rain today, that's good!! no frost. This morning was in the high thirties that is cold but not freezing. So I got to sleep in. Things in the field are on a holding pattern; we are waiting for warmer weather to start planting again. Pablo and the crew are cleaning up around the field and weeding the asparagus. After two days of running the sprinklers for frost protection the asparagus beds are soft so it is easy to pull the deep rooted weeds. Pablo also has hundreds of beds ready to seed and or transplant. Lee and her crew at the greenhouses have tomatoes, basil, peppers, chiles and other plant waiting to be planted. All waiting for the mad rush of spring planting.
