Hooping it up

Our group spent most of the day in or near the hoop house.  Our main tasks were to dig up carrots, remove snow from the exterior and prepare a new bed for planting.

Brian was lucky enough to find a dead possum in our chicken run--were the chickens taking revenge for the many eggs stolen over the February absence?

In the afternoon, our group sorted through the stockpile of seeds to check for "seed viability."  Most seeds can last more than a year, so we sorted and recorded what seeds we have on hand.
