Good evening folks,
busy time here, esp on a great day with storms moving in,,,,,,50 tomatoes in the gh, almost done with those inside,,,
planted first 4 rows of potatoes, different technique this year, used a bulb auger on my cordless drill, bore the hole 8-10" deep, sprinkle in some magic dust add the seed then leave the hole,,,,the rain will gradually fill it, as the plant grows to daylight then you already have the initial hilling done. I will mulch half of these with straw when the green starts to show. I have used straw in the past with great results, but the last couple of years the voles have ruined a lot of the e crop,,,,we'll see how this goes
re potted 200 mater plants for resale at the end of the month,,,,planted 250 pepper starts,,,,later than I wanted but,,,
started 100 basil plants,,,these will be under the maters in the gh
all soil amendments for spring are added and worked in,,,,a few beds are tilled and finished waiting for plants/seeds,,,this week it will be wet,,,but warm,,,perfect for the soil
on the chicken front,,,,chicks are growing, hens are laying, all is well,,,,,,,meat birds on order need to recheck the ship date,,lol
bbl,,,,,time to close things up
Dan,,,,brooder height,,,my 4 wk old can jump/fly 4',,,,I would say at least 2' and a wire top should work,,,,and,,,,make it bigger than you think ,,,,,just in case you add something or,,,,
Where in WI?
