After a very mild and dry winter, we are getting our moisture during the official spring months.  Since the calender said it was Spring, we have had four snow blizzards.  They have been short, not too heavy, and had warm sunny days in between them.  This is good for the pasture land.  Composters are staying frozen even on the sunny days.  It takes about a week of sun to thaws them out.

Just before the snows started, I harvested a bushel of nearly finished compost from the tumbler in the garden, and added a lot of shredded up stems from last years garden.  I filled it up full, wet it down and gave it some tumbles to mix it.

I used the nearly finished compost, mixed with some sand, to fill holes and plant fresh seed in the pasture.  It was good timing, just before the first snow fall.  The seed won't come up until it gets a lot warmer-what I would call Spring weather.  April can be a volitile month for weather.  It may be spring in Georgia, but it ain't here on the high plain grasslands of Colorado at 6,000' elevation.  We just take it as it comes.
