What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

Our flower bulbs in the bed out front seem confused. They are sprouting early.

I also for around to pumping or the duck pond. I had to chop the ice with an ax. It was 4-5 inches thick. I pumped the water over the winterized garden beds and put some on the compost piles to innoculate them with bacteria from the mucky pond water.

Hope you are doing better @WthrLady !

ordered chicks for pick up in Feb!!

AND.....

6 turkey poults, Bourbon Red.

not sure if we need a separate brooder for the turkey poults, or if they can share the same space for a couple of weeks with the chicks. I know I need turkey starter for them.

chicks will teach them to eat and drink. but when they do learn it, it would be better to separate them.

a few tomatoes sprouted in my garden (I don't know where they came from). as we expect some snow and a few freezing hours - that would be enough to kill the plants, I plan to pick them from the garden and transplant. then I have to collect all the flowerpots that should be protected.

we had some snow 6 years ago. the last 2 winters we did not have any freezing temperatures. so I am going to by some BOSS for my chickens as well. and I need to do something about wet mud in the duck's coop. we still are in a lockdown so there are no pineshavings. I have to invent something.

Do you have fallen leaves? They could help with the mud in the duck run. Straw works too if you can get it.

I am thinking about straw as well. I hope our feed store has it. unfortunately we have citrus and pine trees here so fallen leaves are a dream.

Morning gardeners. All this talk of more eggs is exciting! I have some freeloaders that need to read this thread & get a move on...

@Acre4Me I ordered the hoops from Amazon, they were pretty cheap, I don't have a big area I want to do, just some lettuce. Turkeys, eh? Cool!

@WthrLady I hope you have a better day today, you've had a few rough ones.

Took me over an hour but I finally got my parents signed up for their COVID vaccines, can't wait to be able to go visit them again.
