Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks!

I have 2 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte chicks that did not seem to know or care they were not due until Sunday, they hatched this evening!  Hoping I have many more hatch from this batch!

Spring is here!

Have tomatoes and peppers started inside... have already transplanted the tomatoes to peat pots but need to do this to the peppers also.  I prefer to grow my own plants from seed... there are so many heirlooms or unique varieties that you just can't get unless you grow your own.

I also have shallots, onions, fennel and celeriac up and growing, the herbs have not yet sprouted.

I will be getting my fingerling potato seed Wednesday... have grown potatoes before but never fingerling varieties.

Not sure when the 2 dwarf apple trees I ordered will be in, at least that gives me time to decide location placement and to pre dig the holes. :-P

Hopefully, next weekend will be nice enough to allow me to move all my old chicken coop bedding out to the garden for spreading out and tilling in.  I used to compost, however, my chickens are now my "masters of compost" now. lol

Here is a cool link if you like gardening:

Hello!

This is going to be my first attempt at having a blog.  I look forward to making it a reflection of me. :-)
