Spring is here. Sort of..

While spring is technically upon us the weather still feels more like February.  I have been busy around the urban farm tending to the hoop house I built last fall and boiling down maple sap from one of our 5 maple trees I have tapped.  I decided that until we move out of the city to a real farm I am going to do what ever I can to make the house we live in as close to a homestead as possible.  This way I am learning as much as I can while using what we have available.
