Well, come on then.

Bring a sweater though. It’ll be sort of chilly again by the weekend. But next week looks like spring again.

My old guy neighbor Ray was tilling his big garden yesterday.
That’s always a good sign.
I’ll have to stop and talk to him in the next few days.
He’s a good gardener. Used to be a farmer. He knows what’s what.

Talk about climate change though....
5 years ago, I had my garden planted by Lincoln’s birthday. (Feb. 12).
It’s gotten later each year, and not because I was dillydallying - the temps just weren’t there yet.

Oh my goodness! We can't even start plants indoors until mid March.

:woot For spring!!
 
Birds are tended. Everyone is looking good.

Cannot give the wet feed since it will freeze before they can eat it.
I will be feeding Crooky by herself. She HAS to have the wet feed since her beak is, well.....crooky.
:hmm


Laundry is running, bathroom is cleaned, indoor birds and cat are tended.
:caf
I will be cleaning cupboards I guess. :rolleyes:

Not good at sitting still.

Our last frost is usually the first week of May. I have seen it snow on the fourth of July though.
We can see cold crops in early April depending on ground conditions.

I try to have peas in by the first week of April. Some years it works others it's a total bust.

Here you can often get two crops in if they are both fast ripening
 
Just changed chicken water. It was frozen solid.
:eek: Man it freezes fast!

Chickens in Cochin coop are all inside. Not surprised at that. Nearly all in the later coop are outside under the shelter where the sun shines and there's no snow.

You can try adding a bottle of salt water into the waterer. Salt water freezes slower so the idea is the thermal mass from the unfrozen water in a bottle will give you more time before the whole thing freezes.
Just make sure you seal it good.

It's just today that I have to deal with it. I do have some 2 liter bottles set aside for our next blast of cold. I plan to do that next round.

I have to check for eggs regular so it's all good.
