Skipley Farm

It's been a lollygagging time this wet season. I'm excited about planting brocoli and garlic again. As the sun begins to get up earlier again i find myself relieved that the growth will resume...this is the deep dark mossy part of my lugubrious brain that recovers during this season of light returneth.
i'm excited about growing on my 3300 apple grafts too. This is the study and practice of creating a farm. this is really not that many trees considering that planting 3'x9' = 27 sf/tree = 43560/27 = 1613 trees/acre or about 2 acres. like everyone else, I think I want to share some of this bounty with a neighborly invitation to come pick some fruit 105 varieties of apples, and still i'm missing Holstein-"highly flavored" says Dr. Bob Norton, former WSU director at Mt Vernon Research Station.
In the news today is a bill HR 875 -a Monsanto-thrusted challenge to ANY AND ALL NON-CORPORATE FARMS AS WELL AS THE BIGGER GUYS THAT WILL PROBABLY BE GOBBLED BY THIS FOOD/LAND MOLESTING behemouth.
need to call or write your representatives A S A P
ok, well I can't stay up all night -cause i did that for the past two nights and driving on the freeway becomes increasingly dangerous. goodnight.
