First shoots of asparagus making their way to the surface...

Let me know if you are interested in some. In a short couple of weeks I'll be drowning in it!

Another new month - another new goal! April's goal is all about finding what feels right for your journey.
Those who have followed me for a while know that Little Sprague Farm has been a lot of things in the short couple years it's been around. And while I really love baking, canning, growing vegetables and sharing these things with the community, I found myself dreading the long days in the kitchen trying to prepare for week after week of farmers markets. I started to realize that the dread was turning the love I had for these hobbies into a chore.
I'm definitely not writing off doing pop up events in the future, but my journey has taken me down a career path that doesn't involve a bakery.

In my time reflecting on what might be next instead of the bakery, i kept coming back to my time at the Chamber of Commerce helping out business owners. Marrying that with my CPA experience, I launched Greene Accounting, a business that focuses on helping other small businesses navigate accounting, bookkeeping and finance tasks.

Yes - this is a shameless plug for that endeavor, but what I want to express is an example that often you think your life is going to take you one way, but along the way the path changes and you end up somewhere completely different but hopefully spectacular nonetheless.

So the goal for April - find the things that bring you joy and don't be afraid to alter that list as life unfolds before you.

Another project checked off the list just in time! The inside of the greenhouse got a fresh coat of paint - not that the mismatchy vibe was bad - but I gotta say that I am in love with this coffee color! Rolling tables are next on the docket - then it's time for seedlings!

It's been a flurry of activity around here with the warmer days! It was finally time to prune the trees. And this year I went with just a couple, major cuts instead of a lot of smaller trims. See the before (snow on the ground) and the after (no snow) for a visual on how to open up the inner portion of the tree. This pruning style crates a cup shape, encouraging good air flow in the middle of the canopy.

March was going to be all about setting aside time for your favorite hobby outside of homesteading but nature has had other plans.

My non-farm hobby is horse back riding. I've jumped back in the saddle this year taking lessons.....or trying to at least. This one lesson has been rescheduled five times due to the extreme weather this winter!

Can't wait until this scene is a bank of raspberries instead of snow. Bring on the warmer temps!

I'm a little behind the ball from my normal Valentines Day seed starting schedule thanks to the timing of a very much needed vacation. I am so excited to have put in about 125 seeds this morning and dropped the sweet potatoes into their jars to start growing slips!

From lakeside property to ice rink....this is why we wait until March in Wisconsin to prune.

Our pruning saga continues! Temps were nearly perfect last weekend for pruning, but fool me once mother nature and I catch on to your tricks!

I did no cutting since I knew in my gut we still had some 20 degree days on the horizon. What I did do is mark the trees for the future cuts to be made.

As you can see, in this example, I'm taking a few larger limbs off to really open up the center of the tree. This tree is about 5 years old and ready for some heavier pruning to ensure that the apples it sets this year don't crowd each other.
