More rain in the middle of the week. Hopefully you can get the garden worked

I have a feeling the garden worm is going to have to wait until next weekend unfortunately. I just doubt the ground will be dry enough to till.

Here was a chick I didn't sell because I thought it was a male.
5-6 weeks old:

Same chicken at 5 months. Comb and wattles never grew but the rest of her did.

This usually happens to me about once a year. However, it's usually light colored birds (lav or white) For some reason those appear to have more contrast in their flesh color than the blacks. These tricksters are also usually descendants of Jewel. (Which means they grow up to be big beautiful hens)

Morning . I want to plant green beans in early May weather permitting .

Good morning! I'm going to run out today and stick some peas in the ground. My planting chart suggests second week in May for beans in the ground, I'm going to look at the weather forecast and maybe stick them in early.

Never know about the weather anymore. Frost tonight they say.


I usually start my own tomatoes and peppers to set out. Well I did but the dog got sick and I had to put him down on the 17th... I forget about watering the plants and now I have no tomatoes or peppers.

One of my white meat mutt chicken hens died yesterday.

Caught 2 of the calico turkey hens, someone is supposed to pickup today. 16 turkey hens are too many, 6 would be enough.

Sold 2 DZ turkey eggs yesterday and 1 DZ meat mutt chicken for hatching.

Wow, that's the exact reason I do very few starts from seeds indoors. I've already killed two squash starts. I'm not great about remembering to water outdoors either, but this year will be different!

Went to get dirt and got stuck instead. Gardens have to wait till next week I guess

#4 caught. No bait. Nothing but open trap.

 

[Justso]

Wow that's a shocker! Glad you caught it now! Possums sure are ugly things, aren't they.
