What did you do in the garden today?

Spent the day getting last minute chores done before the snow comes tomorrow. It’s been seriously windy here the past two days. I had to replace part of the plastic on the chicken run. It’s in a tough spot, but this should last. Cleaned the coops and the pellet stove and oops! I forgot to cover the asparagus bed with leaves. Morning chore before the flakes start flying. I’m hoping the snowfall is as forecasted so I shouldn’t need the snowblower. Fingers crossed. We’re heading for a deep freeze next week. Fun times.
 
Well guys, I’ve decided to give my ducks to my son and DIL and just keep the bunnies. The ducks are fun, but we need a little more freedom to come and go right now. The live-in family is unreliable about caring for the animals if I’m not home, but as long as the buns have hay and water they’d be fine if we were gone for a few days. Plus I love their poop for the garden!

I’m in the process of revamping the yard with the coops to accommodate the buns and took some measurements today so I can order some stuff. I read a really neat idea about creating a heat sink with blocks and ceramic tile so I picked up a couple of 18” square tiles today for that. I can’t wait to get the buns out there so they can enjoy some real space. They’re going to love it! Take care all, I’ll check in with some pics as I go.

I will exchange my ducks and geese for chickens. reason is lack of space. their night pen became too smelly even for me and there are people living in a short distance from their pen. although they do not complain I don't feel comfortable.

peas are growing well considering low temperatures. even lettuce is a bit stunted but peas seem to be impatient to grow, lol.

@Wee Farmer Sarah how'd you make out with the snow? We just had some sleet & rain. Looks like it's going to be chilly out there from now on tho!

I made the onion soup - it was delish! I really love my home made beef broth. It's amazing how much better it is than the stuff you buy in the store.

The new chicken pen is doing good, the 2 girls in there are doing fine & Red seems to be healing a bit. I sure do wish she would have molted though.

That's all I got!
 
Good morning all. Yesterday was exhausting. I repaired the spots on the coop run where the wind did a little damage. I added more covering to Randy’s bachelor pad, moved the lavender onto the front porch and covered up the asparagus bed with straw. That was all before 3 pm. We got around an inch of snow before it started sleeting and raining. I had a little Christmas party planned for last night, but postponed it until tonight. We’re going to see a Christmas light show then come back to my house for a small plates buffet. Tomorrow we head for over night lows in the teens and daytime highs in the low 30’s. Brrr! I’m having seriously computer problems. I lost a few files yesterday. I’m not sure if I still have my gardening file. :he
 
Its chilly out there! Did a bunch of work outside, came in to warm up & decided DH needed to go to the Ortho walk in. He hurt his back couple days ago & it got much worse today. So I'm siting in the car warming up!

I was just going to start the tractor & dig up that stupid flower bed out front. Been bugging me for years. :he Oh well.
