Spring has sprung

From the depths of a long cold winter here in the southeast spring has finally arrived. So many projects in the works and not enough hours in the day. We were rewarded by our biggest Moso bamboo shoots this year and they are towering above us. Our Indian Runner ducks (only two females) have given us so many eggs we were inspired to incubate them and eagerly await the hatch expected around May 3rd. Last year our plum trees bloomed through some freezing temps and days that never made it out of the low 40s, so no pollinators. But this year the bee's were out in force and have made copious amounts of fruit, although making it to ripeness is another story. The kiwi vines will begin blooming in a week or so, last years bloom yielded more fruit than we could deal with, a little unripe seeing as they didn't mature before frost was expected. The gardens are coming along with okra emerging, beans, squash, bitter melon, all kinds of peppers and fresh herbs.

We will be working on new designs for our etsy shop www.mocahete.etsy.com and preparing to open a new shop on etsy sometime later this month under the name lunalindastudio.

So, so much going on!
