Spring break at the farm

In addition to becoming a farmer, my wife and I run a successful childcare business.  Actually many wonderful people run our successful childcare business and I keep tabs on the goings on.

Today I needed to serve as a Zombie paintball target for our after school kids during our Spring Break event at our summer camp and fledgling farm.  Even with padding those things can sting.  Fortunately our marks children were not exactly snipers so the hits were few and far between.

Josh placed orders for beets, melons, pak choi, from Baker Creek.  Beans, sweet corn, sugar snap peas, squash, watermelons, radishes winter and summer squash from Johnny's Seeds.  The tomatoes will probably come in trays since we are already late in planting seeds.  Pumpkins hopefully will emerge from the unclaimed pumpkins we allowed to rot in the fields after our fall festival last October.  I am getting hungry already.  We have to build our irrigation system which was partially installed several years ago and includes a 1600 gallon cistern that was set up to collect rainwater off our pool house roof.  Now to see if everything still works.

Tomorrow I  will be digging post holes with our tractor mounted post hole digger or serving as a zombie paintball target on day two our our spring break.  The question is, which job can I pass off and which is more desirable?  The tasks of a camp owner, farmer, environmentalist are very diverse.
