We evened out the old raised beds and put in the broccoli, kale, leeks, red and green cabbage yesterday. I just remembered looking at this I was going to write down the dates I started the seeds - I'll make a note of that next time I'm out there and add it here. :) It's supposed to rain all week so that will help settle them in nicely. Seeds to start in the spring garden include peas (sugar and snow), spinahc, swiss chard, direct seeded kale, radishes, and carrots, along with oniuon sets and red and baking potatoes (the blues are already in). I need to add some dirt to the side beds before seeding those, but hopefully by next weekend.

Oh, and if anyone wondered how we did at the auction this weekend, we were pleasantly surprised. There was only one other person interested in buying poultry, so we were able to get two show trios (for the young hens) for 8 and 9 dollars respectively, and 9 chicks for 20 - some black australorps and some polish. Now to find someone who wants to buy two fancy pants black sumatran roosters!
