Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

It's the march equinox today so it's.....
Happy Newroz!

The festival is about overcoming hardship essentially. Some may wonder why I know about this particular festival but tend to ignore Christmas. My youngest lives with a Kurdish man and out of many of the so called friends I left behind in the UK the ones who have bothered to keep in touch have been my Iranian friends.

Cool! I also have a very sincere couple of Iranian friends, although they call themselves Persian.

I was reading about Newton Persian recipes yesterday and feel like there are some really yummy traditions. I have my eye on a sort of herb frittata. I forgot the name.

Was it kuku sabzi?

Ok, so odd, I "watch" this thread but I haven't been getting notifications of current posts???? How come?

I’ve noticed that too. If you fall behind even a little bit, you stop getting notifications.

Love that development with Sydney. She looks very pretty on the table.
Lovely sunny day here too. Still below freezing tonight though. No new snow forecast!

We are having rain for a solid week!

Thank you for the warm welcome Bob! I'll definitely be joining the thread and I will introduce my flock soon.... but I'm hoping to get caught up a little more first. Hopefully it doesn't take me a month

Nice to meet you and hi from me in Adelaide, South Australia!

Went to scout out medication and hardware cloth at our TSC. My chick resist was strong.

And a mysterious Silver laced wyandotte that got lumped in with the "Asians"

The chicks are very cute but I feel sorry for them, without their mamas.

No, I was on-line, I have been busy outside for the last 2 months. I moved the blueberries and turned raised bed #1( I had to climb up and stand on the top of the bed to turn it.) Cleaned up all of the herb beds, & added compost and Dr. Earth to the all. We built another concrete block garden bed. Both are 26 feet by 4 feet and we made a new asparagus bed and potato bed. The wood we had used 9 years ago finally rotted out. I got all of the garden veggies direct seeded, the turnips and radishes have sprouted and I noticed this morning the kale is a go~ the peas too are sprouting. I have tomatoes and chilies & squash started in the greenhouse.

Do you want to come over and do my garden??

I wish it could be sent out to the areas that need it.

What's the flood risk for your house Loz?

Yes, I find the local Iranian-heritage community here refer to themselves as Persian. I think it’s to distinguish themselves from being Arabic.
