As soon as it dries out after this rain, we will need to begin cultivating like crazy. On the bright side the beets, carrots and others have come up really well. We already had to replant the first outdoor Japanese turnips and the first planting of Sugar Snap Peas looks really bad. We are on schedule as far as planting and seeding goes, but the cool soil temperatures are holding things back, with some crops not happy at all.

So far we have moved the hoops for the Big Tops, slid the little tunnels to their summer positions (where the tomatoes are being planted right now) and planted a bunch of lettuce and flowers. New this year is Glenn who has made several stops at other farms over the past few years and is seriously looking at farming as a career after getting a non agricultural degree at UNC, a perfect fit here at PF. Cov is back for his third year and we are very happy for that. The staff started last week so now there is no excuse to stay in the house for another cup of coffee. Here on the farm our 28th growing season is beginning to happen at a much more rapid pace. As usual I also gave several workshops during the conference and the conference wrapped up with a grand banquet for 1200, held under a huge tent, capped by a keynote talk by Michael Pollan of “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” fame. While we are not quite yet ready to go there, we do need to begin thinking about what we will do with this place in the end so we are very interested in how it is working for others around the country. Farmer friends of ours hosted this all day session as they have just begun the process of transitioning their farm to a younger farmer. There were a number of events surrounding the conference that were also enticing to Betsy, several Slow Food related things and we both were interested in a full day workshop on farm transition. Last weekends now almost annual trip (for me) to the Georgia Organics conference was even better because I finally convinced Betsy to go with me which is the reason we were not at market last weekend for our traditional start. Over the next few weeks I will give you more details of our winter adventures but the highlights include trips to Texas, Tennessee (twice), Pennsylvania, and last weekend to Georgia. We are doing our best to ignore the fact that it is much colder than usual and continue to plant on schedule including the first tomatoes into the sliding tunnels today! It has been an interesting winter and while we have done quite a lot, the amazingly cold and sometimes very wet conditions have kept us inside more than normal and we feel very fat and sluggish coming out into spring. You can learn a bit more about the API here.The calendar says it’s time for us to start another market season and winter’s death grip on spring appears to be having it’s fingers pried off one by one, Punxsutawney Phil and Sir Walter Wally were right on with this forecast. Buttondown has a full-featured API that lets you do everything you can do in the web interface, but programmatically - including spinning up newsletters. If you're a developer, you might not be thinking about just one or two newsletters - you might be thinking about dozens of newsletters. No worrying about how many emails you send or receive, no worrying about how many newsletters you have. We priced multiple newsletters that way, too - you're billed for the total number of unique subscribers across all your newsletters.

I just want to pay a fair price for a great product. I don't want to have to worry about how many subscribers I have, or how many emails I send, or how many emails I receive. I'm not a fan of the 'gotcha' pricing model. I’ve been able to take what I’ve learned from doing AWL and apply it to how I’m approaching things with the coaching practice, and vice versa. I’m also running two newsletters now-the second is for my coaching practice, everything changes-and being able to manage both of them with one tool is very powerful. Switch between newsletters easily, get a single bill, and don't worry about anything besides your great content.Īmazing people like Mandy Brown take advantage of this by having two newsletters, one for her personal writing and one for her professional writing and coaching: Thankfully, Buttondown is a little more friendly. Logging in and out every time I wanted to check out a new subscriber or edit a piece was a pain. At one time I was writing a poetry newsletter, a Python newsletter, and a very-niche but high-engagement Miami Heat data science newsletter. Run multiple newsletters from a single account.
