It has finally seemed warm enough to begin the planting for his years produce. I got the potatoes in yesterday. It was easier that I thought it would be to mix up the pre-plant and fertilizer according to the directions. So I planted and watered then gently and hope for the best. I hope I am able to keep up with the weeding this year. The weather dropped again today and I hope it does not end up snowing again. It is almost the end of March and still seems like winter is still here.
I did get the first flowers of the year. The crocus booms looked wonderful when having to deal with such dreary weather. The tulip plants around 7 inches tall and the daylilies are not that far behind. They are all looking good so far this year.
I have not receive my order of chicks but look forward to getting them to replenish all that was lost last year. I ordered some more Welsummers, Lakenvelders, and Dominiques. I did purchase 7 new barded rocks that are doing very well in the barn.
I have been search for plans for a small goat cart that I can pull with my one wether but have not had luck so far. I am going to look into trying to modify a little wagon maybe later in the summer.
I hope to be able to get out later this week to plant some peas but I will wait and see what the weather looks like this weekend.
