  I like your profile picture and your pictures tell a nice story of what you have done so far, but I wonder what you have been up to lately...
  I was hoping to hear about your harvest and what you did that worked and what you did that didn't work.

  Carla, I love your picture gallery. It really tells a story. Looks like you have space for a full-blown farming operation. I'm interested to know how things are going since your last post.
  
  For my part, I put in 3 raised beds this year. My backyard is pretty tiny. Right now, I'm reading about permaculture, and thinking abut what I can accomplish with my larger front yard. I'm thinking about starting with some fruit trees and bushes in 2012.
  
  Hope your farm is doing well.

  Carla, congrats on being farmer of the month.
  
  Your square foot garden area is looking good. Much improved from when you started clearing the garden area. It's still not warm enough here to start working in the garden. Hopefully it won't be long as we are starting to a 50 degree day at least once or twice a week. All the snow is gone except on the north side of buildings.
  
  Have a great farmer of the month day.

  Carla, Things around the urban ranch have been a little busy the last couple weeks. For a week I helped some friends with electrical wiring for some ceiling lights. We removed three fluorescent lights and replaced them with 15 can lights. We split a circuit off an existing circuit to a circuit of its own and wired in a new circuit as well. It did turn out really well.
  
  The weather here has all the signs of spring but our frost free date for this area is May 15th. I don't know about the tulips and daffodils being up already. I tried to convince them it wasn't time to be waking up but they just gave me the silent treatment. We had a warm week last week which melted all the snow and started the spring thaw. It was nearly 70 degrees one day and the time spent out on the front yard patio was a welcome change from the cold snowy winter weather. This week looks to be a little cooler but still not bad for February in Nebraska.
  
  My daughter decided to replace my grandson's bed with a nice flat box furniture bed. For two days I tackled the task of assembling three boxes of parts into a Captain's twin bed. I had to laugh at the instructions which had five steps for the assembly and that the bed was made in Vietnam. I don't think much is manufactured in the States any more.
  
  Hopefully, I can get back to working on the storage area this week. Spring is indeed coming and I need to get my winter project completed before the outside projects begin.
  
  I hope you are enjoying the pre spring time of garden and flower anticipation. Have a great day.
