Well the garden is growing it’s just keeping the squirrels chickens and cardinals out of it. I keep my girls in a run but they love to see if they can hop out a door when I open it to beat it to the garden. The cover crops are up for chickens, arugula, radish tops, chives, lettuces starting to...

Well we planted everything end of March first of April in the garden beds and grow boxes. DH has lettuces and herbs growing in the greenhouse. We just had a 24 hour of snow and melt down. Hope not much was lost outside. I painted my aronndike chair restrained gold pretty in yard near new poultry...

Nothing in the garden today. I should get some seed going inside. Beat my husband to it. My cupola came for my new hen house. Loving it. I need to work out particulars but thinking grey with black roof. Will see what we have around the house. Hen house is grey with black accessories. Otherwise...

My mom has a router and has to reset frequently when use. Just a part of life.

I know how you feel about the cleaning chores. I have long since given up hope that my husband will help. Once in awhile he helps with cleaning out waterers but mostly not. I do all the throwing straw around here. One day it would be nice to see it all done. I am not fortunate enough to have...

My husband is usually the early seed starter in the greenhouse. I should let him know what we want. I usually just plant direct when frost is gone. I’m so excited spring is coming. It’s been a long Winter. Tomatoes 🍅 he usually starts. I start mixed greens and arugula outside. This year I hope...

The bright note I only had to put straw out once so far this year in the run. Not as wet as last year yeah! :pop :love

We had half green half red tomatoes and made smoked salmon on toast made by my husband. Me made low-fat sour cream dill spread for the bread. We brined the tomatoes in my dill pickle brine. Laid out dill pickle spears left that I canned from the garden. Made salad on the side. Way good! I find I...

Regraded the chick run and added pine mulch after cleaning coop yesterday in between rain showers. I planted a marigold in my rain barrel herb flower box. Plan to use those dried in my Chick food. Rain barrel filling so can use chick drink stick shortly. I have my Russian sage and lavender...

Nothing but watch, wait, and see. We planted some more tomato plants, jalapeño plants, green pepper plants etc. a week or so ago. Something got into the jalapeño and green pepper plants. Wasn’t the chickens. Watching to see if zucchini, squash etc. get pollinated and fruit this year. Good...

Well my DH filled a hole around the chick run. Waiting for an estimate from someone who can do a stone patio as base for shed. Got approval from local planning commission for housing upgrade for the hens. Yeah! :)

Expensive Home Depot is 4 for $10.00. Those look like toasted.

I planted chicken salad seed for the hens essentially a cover crop mix for feasting in between bouts of showers and sunshine. Love the spring plants in bloom.

I planted cherry tomato seed in the garden house. My eggplant has not sprouted yet but gave fresh watering. I also planted basil, cilantro, pumpkin, yellow squash, delicata, cucumber, green beans etc. today in the garden. It’s going to rain tonight. Hope it grows quick. As is the gardener so...

It’s time to just buy the ceramic ones from Kroger’s and just put a candle in it for you I’m afraid. :)

In the springtime: April violets glow In wayside nooks, close clustering into groups, Like shy elves hiding from traveller's eye. –Thomas Buchanan Read (1822–72)

Wow my egg shells are washed but I do not cook for compost. I figure the antibacterial wash is good enough. Composted after egg used.

Look all around thee! How the Spring advances! New life is playing through the gay, green trees See how in yonder bower the light leaf dances To the birds tread and the quivering breeze. -Ludwig Tieck (1773-1853) Question if the day from Farmers Almanac: How much snow does it take to equal...
