We stopped by Strawberry Hill USA for a bite to eat on the way back from the mountains...the van is loaded with 400 lbs of soluble fertilizer from Southern Ag in Hendersonville.   James Cooley showed up and we had a nice visit with both James and his wife.  There farm is as neat and orderly as any I have ever seen.  The diner is the cleanest restaurant ever, good food, and good prices.  We'll start going to the mountains via Chesnee instead of through Shelby just to enjoy their operation.

I removed the row covers from the Camarosa and 1/4 acre of Chandler that we covered over winter.  The covers were placed in early January.  It will be interesting to see how far the covered Chandlers get advanced over the uncovered plants.
