Winter Break
We have two more weeks at the winter markets in Seattle, finishing our '05 season... but wait a minute it's already the end of January,'06. Our first propagation greenhouse (which by the way was big enough for many years) is already full of young lettuce starts in plug trays and our second house will be filling up soon.
We have not even finished with last year and here we are starting again for this year. Many years ago the farm took a break from December thru February, but it seems those days are behind us. In an attempt to extend the season on both ends we inadvertently eliminated a period where we used to rest and get ready for the following year.
As the business continues to grow and new opportunites present themseleves it seems prudent to make the most out of the entire year and not just the six months of prime growing conditions. In doing so, we must remember to be mindful of our physical and emotional needs or soon the dreaded burn-out will be upon us. I will take some time off in February to travel someplace warm, maybe Mexico. Dig my toes into some hot sand... a Pina Colada or two or three or four... find a hammock in the shade and sleep for two or three days... you get the picture...
So... thank you for a great year (the best yet) and see you in May!!!
