spring storms from the barn are beautiful
Mercury is in Retrograde. I do not know what that means but Anna says that is why things are going wrong. That is why the greenhouse didn't get watered in time, why we planted cabbage in 128 cells rather then 70. It is why we put row cover on the scallions rather then taking it off. Sometimes the stars are off and so are we. But it is nice to say, "mercury is in retrograde" the moon is full...we are all not quite where we are supposed to be. But despite mercury, life is still growing. By some chance miracle I have had 3 of my grafts take. So despite talk of needing to be some type of apple magician to be a success at grafting it appears that really it may just be a matter of Luck. Trees want to grow everyone says....and It seems they really do. There is something magical about cutting off a trees limbs, and shoving a tiny branch into it's stump only to discover a few weeks later that yes, that we bit of a twig is growing. Miracle, Luck, Science I don't know...but it is something wonderful, despite mercury, the trees will thrive.
