Pinging the List:
Beautiful weather here in Central Missouri this week. I noticed yesterday that two of my plum trees have started to bloom. Asparagus is coming, rhubarb is coming, broccoli and cauliflowers all got froze and killed a couple weeks ago, so I’ll be replanting some of that stuff over the weekend. Maybe put out another orchard tree or two. Mrs. Augie wants a HoneyCrisp apple but I haven’t been able to find them locally so I guess I’ll have to go the mail order route on that.
Which just proves that you are indispensable. Thanks for starting the thread every week.

Hi FRiend! Spring is Here!
hallelujah! :-)
Outdoor violets blooming like never before. As they are my favorite spring flowers, it is heavenly to be surrounded by such beauty. Pansies are blooming well also. Lily of the Valley shoots poking through the ground. Daffy’s are fading but tulips blooming. Huge mosquitos, and I do mean huge are numerous so insect repellant is necessary when ever walking out the door.
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.
