Review of this week

Posted on 2008-Apr-6 at 08:53

I actually feel like I got quite a bit done this week. I received my order of chicks and got them all squared away.  It was a surprise to receive a call from the post office that they were in, the company did not email as I had asked and I was not totally prepared for them. It was 6 am and I was in the shower when I was told we just got a call about the birds. The twins were quickly hustled out of bet and it was a good thing they were rather cheerful about it. They came back just as I was leaving and was given the word they all arrived alive. Later that day when I looked at them I was so thrilled. These were the healthiest chicks I have ever received. Thanks Welp Hatchery for the great chicks.

This weekend we had wonderful weather and I was out in the garden for most of the time. I completed 5 of the vegetable gardens beds and planted all of the cool season vegetables planted. I also got the orchard fertilized and some more daylilies planted. I enjoy daylilies (Hemerocallis) so add new ones each year. The weather man has forecasted a storm coming in so this year I did a good job of getting ahead of the weather.

Some more vegetables were planted inside under the lights. All the melons (Bidwell Casaba, Jubilee watermelon, Charontais, Hales Best Jumbo Watermelon, moon and stars, Kansas and Iroquois) and some squash (Lokota) were planted Saturday. Most of the others are growing except the peppers. Peppers are always so painfully slow to germinate and grow.

For a short time I stopped to enjoy the boom of tulips.

The barred rocks are doing very well and as you can see getting rather big.

The sub floor is almost done in the laundry/mud room. The dryer was moved inside there and is now working so much better. The clothes are actually getting dry sooner than hours later. Yahoo!!
