I'm going to bring home the seedlings we started in the classroom tonight - red cabbage, mini green cabbage, dino. kale, two types of broccoli, and leeks. I may not get themm in the ground - esp. if the pigs don't cooperate! - but I'll at least start hardening them off in prep. for getting them out there. I WILL, if it doesn't rain, put in the rest of the blue potatoes later today, and maybe the strawberries by Sunday. We have a livestock auction on Sunday so I'll have to see. Other chores on the agenda are putting the mowing deck back on the tractor, & returning the battery to the feed store where we'll get our onion sets, seed potatoes, and food for the barn cats. Maybe even that apple tree. :)
This is the second year for this auction, and last year the prices were sky-high, more of a "generous donation" then actual bidding, you know? I'm hoping this year is a little more like a regular auction and we can pick up some chickens. Not sure if I'll buy chicks there, especially since I can get pullet chicks from the feed store in a few weeks, but we'll see. |
