Spring has finally sprung. A few bulbs are pushing through, and one snowdrop has even bloomed. So far, 2 garlic shoots have emerged, and the rhubarb is beginning to develop shoots. Don’t rejoice too soon, though: snow is in Sunday & Monday’s forecast agin.
The perennial onions and walking onions are already up, as are 3 volunteer onions that seem to have been missed in last year’s harvest.
Our younger doe kindles Tuesday before last; the other one will get bred in a week or two.
Today we bought chicks: 6 Black Jersey Giants, and 12 white Cornish Cross broilers. Also while in Rapid, we got another 2,400 pounds of free compost at the recycling yard.
When we got home, I had an email from Jung’s that my potato sets have shipped.
2,400 lbs of FREE compost. Wow! I would surely love a deal like that. My favorite price for stuff. And I was sitting up late looking at methods or equipment to grind oak leaves small enough to use in making compost. What a difference 2000 miles can make!
I feel your pain. We have frost warnings for Monday,Tuesday and Friday. Soon winter will be over here. Though, it uncertain if we will have spring or jump right into summer.
