Celery Fields



It wouldn't be Yuma without pictures of some sort of vegetable growing.  I've never seen celery grown before so it was kind of interesting to see fields of it growing.  The last two months have been lettuce fields as far as you could see and broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage.  Now they are letting the broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage go to seed.  They bring in the beehives to put around the flowering plants.  I guess the bees get to take advantage of all the plants going to seed.  The rest of the fields are growing alfalfa.  I guess parts of the north country need some fresh hay to feed their livestock. 

We have accepted a job for the summer in Cascade, Idaho.   Its a little town north of Boise at about 4800 feet.    The campground we are going to is right on a river and close to a lake.  It sounds like a beautiful place.  There are lots of forest service roads to explore.  It's not supposed to be very hot there in the summer although there may be mosquitos.  We start around May 1st so we will be leaving here in April and take at least three weeks to make our way up there.
