Yes you were about 2 blocks down from me. But you get an B+ for effort.

I thought I saw him drive by my place.....

That is a very good possibility.

I get it.....
And a few strips for me...
So about my bed time.....

Which is why we keep missing each other.

I knew you would Phil!
I will add several extra.
And yes, I guess that is why we keep missing each other on here.

How did those tomatoes turn out?
Mine are all about a foot high already, I was hardening them off the past few days, then we got hit with snow showers this morning, and tonight's overnight temps are supposed to dip to the low twenties.
I will have to start the whole process over again Sunday when they say we will be back to mid sixties.

That's tough weather to grow anything. Do you use row covers? My tomatoes are about 10 inches. But I buried 12 inches of them to start.

My Orpington's took closer to a year too start laying. Not to proud of that. They are laying great now. Most days I get 5-6 out of 6 hens. Don't think I'm going to keep this line going.

There are 9 hens and we are getting 4 eggs a day. That count had better go up!!! 5 out of 6 isn't bad. Was it because of the slow start that you want to get rid of the line?

That's typical spring here, 5-6 days in the sixties, then one or two in the thirties, then right back to sixties and seventies.
That cycle usually lasts till the end of May.
I do raised beds for most of our tomatoes, peppers, and other tender veggies with cover later in the year.
I have tried covers in the spring, but have lost the temperature battle too many times.
I just keep them in my sunroom until the end of May now, transplanting to successively bigger pots until the weather cooperates.
I usually plant them six to eight inches deep when the go out permanently

When my egg counts drop below 12 -14 from our 20 egg birds, I just start to mumble about chicken soup, chicken pot pie, roast chicken, and bbq chicken. Our flock seems to get the message pretty quick when I do that.
