Everything seems to be going crazy around here. It's just a trip because I don't recall it ever getting to this point so early. I remember that a few years back when we had our false spring. I just get myself into such a head full of worry for all of the farmers, the plants....is it truly something we humans are doing to muss everything up. Out of my control of course so I will just keep trying to enjoy.

Seems like greenhouses are going to come in particular handiness in the coming years. How long have you lived in the Willamette valley?
I've been here pretty much my entire life. Oregon always has what I like to call a schizophrenic climate, but these last few years have really been all over the place. There's so much analysis that one could get into but I definitely agree with you on the greenhouse front. We are fortunate here to have a rebirth of local farmers doing the greenhouse thing that those that are connected in that chain have a link to some good foods regardless. It's the bigger picture that I worry about. Unfortunately the bigger agricultural economy in our beautiful state relies so heavily the whims of the weather. I'm trying not to get too worried about all of that. Maybe we are just blessed with an early fruitful spring this year :)
