Your babies look great! No doubt going to be spoiled rotten like mine are:P
My first were barred rocks, wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone, both of mine laid easily 300 eggs each their first year of laying. Hardy birds, great mamas to baby chicks too as I have found out recently...
My oldest hen, Jezebel the fearsome, decided to go broody out of the blue almost a month ago, so rather than try the cold water dunking thing, my neighbor who raises chickens too, had a bunch of just-laid fertile eggs, so went and got a few and put them under her. Right on cue 21 days later, out...

Planted Hyacinth beans this year, we are having a serious drought, so they aren't tall enough yet for pics of mine, but here's what they look like grown up some:

I have used both, with store potatoes, I only use those that show obvious signs of sprouting, now and then you get a bag of such that haven't been sprayed, I just save the last few out of those bags and set aside in a cool dry place until time to plant. Got a bunch of nice yukon golds...
Sweet 100's, husky cherry reds, yellow pear, roma, Better Boy, and several varieties of heirlooms. The cherry tomatoes are starting to ripen now, had the first one a few days ago! Planting basil all around them really does wonders for the flavor;)
