What did you do in the garden today?

[hosspak]

Greetings and Happy Easter to all our family and friends from all of us at the Crazy H-Bar Ranch;
Today I prepped the last garden box. Because my baby sister delivered a flat of special seedlings for the garden. Included in there is; Indigo Blue tomatoes, Dads Sunset, Spicy Fish peppers?? And a bunch more that I can't remember right now...

Here are the zucchini plants we planted 3 weeks ago, and yes... those 2 zucchinis are over a foot long.

At the other side of the ranch it appears that the chickens are in the Easter spirit OR the Easter bunny really does eggsist. We currently have 11 laying hens and yesterday we collected 9 eggs, as usual. This morning we collected 15 eggs. So, if I do the chicken math right; 11 from 15 leaves 4 and 4 plus 9 is 13 and 13 minus 11 that leaves 2 uneggsplained eggs... So, it appears someone did OT last night... Or maybe it WAS the Easter Bunny!

HO HO HO! LET'S GO PLACES!!!

I like my snakes, and am happy to see them! Unfortunately, they are not very plentiful lately. There was one summer when we had a lot of them. They'd crawl up in the vinyl siding of my house, and I'd see them peeking out from under the siding at me. A bit disconcerting at first, but then, I enjoyed looking for them. However, we don't have any poisonous snakes here. Mostly garter snakes, the occasional brown and red water snake, occasional green, brown and black ones. We have an interesting tree toad that grows about 2" long, and likes to move into bird houses. It's interesting to look up and see a toad staring out over his kingdom from the hole of a bird house.

I'm a bit envious of your snakes and bird house stealing toads..... makes me want to sneak up there and catch a few to bring back with me!

Ok, now I know something is up...found 2 more eggs this afternoon for a total of 17 eggs from 11 layers. If I didn't know better I would think the wife was messing with me... but all the eggs were accounted for...
