[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We apologize for being gone so long. Mother Nature has conspired against us for April. Check out the video to see how!

I was expexting a garden tour but, I get it. We have had crazy winds here too. Looking forward to seeing what you and Holly have growing on. Have a great weekend!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

A garden tour is coming but I need some calmer weather to make it enjoyable. Have a great weekend Jen!!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm thank you Rich, never a dull moment. Getting things done!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

@@northerngirlhobbies Lots going on here. Any ideas how deep we plant the Haskap Berry seeds?

[@TheCowEmporium]

Your lilacs are blooming! We don’t have leaves on anything here yet. Good news about the asparagus. The wind has been just crazy here too. Take care.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

The lilacs are like sweet perfume! We brought some in for my Mother and she loved them! Enough of the wind!! Cheers Annette!

[@Easylifestyles.]

Thanks for the update. 👍

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Thanks for checking in to watch. More videos coming! Mother Nature just needs to help!! Cheers!

[@YogiHollowFarm]

Ugh hate you’re having the winds. They’ve been awful here knocking down trees. Filming in the wind is tough. That’s great about the asparagus! Ours is just poking through now. Can’t wait to see you grow! Cheers!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I bet you can't wait for the asparagus to get up. It's been so nice. We're having my Mom over for dinner (with asparagus of course!). Have a great weekend Lisa!

[@shannon3111]

Looking forward to your upcoming videos. First time chicken owner here, we got 3 ISA brown and 3 Barred Rock chicks last weekend. Thanks for all the tips!!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We'll have lots of chickens videos. Just got chickens yesterday (15 ISA's and others!). Aren't those little ISA Browns cute?! Cheers Shannon!

[@LytonaKirtz]

It has been so windy. I didn’t realize it was the windiest. I have a few things plants. My carrots and peas are up. My leeks did nothing last year so I left them in the garden now they are up and beautiful. Take care guys.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Windiest on record. It just didn't stop blowing here! Glad your leeks will be productive this year!! Have a great weekend Tani!

[@Thomas-ZET]

Finally looks like we are getting some nice weather in MN, should be nice and wow the wind has been crazy

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Being high up, we're so exposed. I can't wait for a calmer summer! Cheers!

[@ThorHavenFarm]

LOL That wind is crazy!!! Hope everything else is going great!!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Everything else is going good. The wind just needs to die down!! Thanks for stopping by! Cheers!

[@HomesteadOnAPrayer]

Filming in the wind is definitely not fun - I hope the weather clears up for you soon!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I'm praying for a calmer summer and better growing conditions! Have a great weekend!

[@juanisgarden5356]

That is windy!! Stay safe! We get lots of wind here, too.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

It was calm yesterday for a while. Today it's back to 22 mph, with gusts to 32! I need to buy a kite!! Cheers Juani!

[@rhondaredeemedprodigal]

Dang that sure is windy 😂. That Lillac bush is beautiful 😍. Momma had a big one like that. Glad asparagus is doing well. I love it in a little butter. Did you say pickled asparagus?? Great to see you my friend 🧡. Take care ❤

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

the lilacs are finally blooming and it's like sweet perfume! We pickle some of the extra asparagus. Some we'll add some spice also. Spicy pickled asparagus, with a Bloody Mary, is really good! Cheers Rhonda!!

[@rhondaredeemedprodigal]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm ❤️ 😍 💖

[@CookBrookCountryLife]

Thanks! I'd like to know more about how you grow asparagus.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

I'm trying to work on a video for the asparagus. We've got a lot going on in that garden. Trying to remove all the weeds this season. I hope to get something filmed to explain asparagus. Have a great weekend!

[@CookBrookCountryLife]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm Thank you! Have a good week!

[@beesandseeds]

So windy! Hope it’s not a piercing cold wind. Not fun to work out in.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

There have been a couple cold days but mostly just windy with warm temps. I can't wait for calmer weather!! Cheers Lisa!

[@CopperIslandHomestead]

It's been so windy here on Lake Superior, too! Had my egg cooler by the road blow over a few times and lost all the eggs inside 😩

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Oh no!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

Noooooo! You might need to put down two concrete anchors in the ground and attach two legs. Keep us posted. We're praying for calmer months ahead!

[@CopperIslandHomestead]

@@TheOldSwedesFarm 🙏 Thank you! My husband is designing a heavy farmstand for me, so hopefully I don't lose any more before he can get that built. I'm just not putting the eggs out unless it's plenty calm for awhile 😔

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

@@CopperIslandHomestead That must be frustrating. I hate when I drop a single egg. I can't imagine losing dozens. I hope it all works out for you. Cheers Jennifer!

[@dawgsden5477]

Cottonwood fuzz is blowing like crazy here. Just looked at the weather and they are calling for frost north of the cities. Have to cover my tomatoes tonight.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

That Cottonwood can make it look like blowing snow at times. We had 44f last night. The new chicks were cool! Watch those tomatoes tonight!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

It seems the weather over the last year or so has been all over the board!! I can understand wind and camera work!! Good to hear things are still well and y'all are making progress!! Thank you Mr Rich for the update, look fwd to seeing the next video 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 Cheers my friend!!

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

It has been nuts here! The winds has made life tough. Constant wind and can't wait for a calmer summer! Cheers Nelson!!

[@AnneHeyns]

We have the most rain this month in years- making it hard for things to grow well as it's too much wetness. weather is weird all over the globe.

[@TheOldSwedesFarm]

We've had "normal" rain here but it's still been soggy in parts of the garden. I'm praying for a "normal" summer!! Cheers!
