The tomatoes on the left, I planted the seeds first week of April and repotted April 11th. On the right seeds were planted April 22nd, and they're doing a lot better.

I either replanted the first batch when they were too small, or the dirt I put them in just sucked. I'm moving my new plants into 3" pots today.

I will go buy bigger tomato from Outfitters use to be Sunbirds.
Ones we grew will not give us fruits this year.

Its chickchick week

My new chicks arrive sometime next week. I've never bought mail order chicks before.

 

[pennyJo1960]

I have not bought mail order peeps bought eggs off ebay once most cracked on arrival.
I do buy peeps often at the feed store because I can they are hatchery birds cost less there.

 

[Smokerbill]

I ordered mine from Murray McMurrey and the cost was 16 chicks for $70, $4.38 each, and that included the $15 postal surcharge. The shipping was free.

But I got all males. Pullets would have been more expensive. I think I paid $5.99 for the New Hampshire pullets I got at Wilco.

 

[pennyJo1960]

Ya at the feed store in Onalaska paid about the same as Wilco.

There's a feed store in Onalaska? Did I hear you say the one in Ethel is closed now?

It shows on the map that it's at least right next to Ethel, but its mailing address is Onalaska. It's just a block north of 12. I took the route up Jackson highway, onto Tucker, onto 12 and up Leonard road. It was a very nice country drive with great views of both Rainier and St. Helens.

And the same distance from my house as Tractor supply in Chehalis.
