Granny's gone and done it again

I adore your planter boxes.

Ugh. I am so not a morning runner lol.

I second this, the boxes look awesome!

Thanks! The nomads built them a few years back.

Ho. Lee. Crumbs. So neighbor (yeah the one with eight dogs) somehow one of the dogs got the front door open. So I was looking for peach outside and see two dogs out on the sidewalk. Okay. Maybe the granddaughter is taking them for a walk. Put peach in her yard just in case...and look again. Nope. Dogs multiplied. So I’m trying to call them to me see if I can put them back in the yard or house or something...eventually daughter and granddaughter hear me hollerin and come help so here’s the mad dash after four pack mentality ridgebacks and a stubborn spaniel. Shaking the treat tin did nothing. But we did get em all. Phew!!

Sounds like a really good swap! I was considering the Swap in Danville at TSC, but i didn't sell anything there so why bother?
Instead i worked on my brooder. Making good progress!
Not done painting the inside, but it will be easier to do once it's back on the ground. Next, doors and dividers.

It was a good swap. Tom woke up in bad pain and I kept it simple so he didnt have to do anything. No loading of the car, nada. I took the 14 babies and sold everyone of them. Was sold out at 9 with peeps wanting more. There was a line.

Did you take their name & numbers. That way when you figure out what your keeping you could always ask if they are interested in any adult birds?
congrats on selling out. Did any littles unrelated follow you home?

YEP already an INCH short this year and under a BURN BAN ALREADY

Sorry twist, we actually are dry here too even though we got 20 inches of snow dumped on us a week ago. We have so much wind here the biggest share of the time that things dry out pretty fast. We haven't had any April showers to speak of either.

Ok, planted:

Red lettuce
Green lettuce
Mesculine mix
Spring mix
Arugula

Royal burgundy okra

Lemon drop basil
Purple basil
Sweet basil
Purple bell peppers

Cilantro
Lemon mint
Oregano
Thyme
Cilantro

And another cilantro

With the onions we added radishes and chamomile.

With the strawberries we added purple bush beans, marigolds, and borage.

Started Cherokee wax and Kentucky wonder beans on the wigwam.

Started lemon cucumber seeds for the other trellis they started but didn’t finish.

Put the Cherokee purple, creole hybrid, and 100 super sweet tomatoes in buckets. I need five more buckets for the yellow and yellow pear tomatoes.

And we gave everything a good, deep drink.

Looks good!

Cap I seen baby winters at Rural king. Even held one. They are so soft!

oh and the RIR for eggs. She has a very dark color. almost mahogany.

Sounds like you got yourself a Heritage RIR, only ever had one Heritage RIR hen & unfortunately I had to use her to sweeten the deal on a batch of chicks I was trying to unload.
