What's Up



It has been another cold wet spring and we are even further behind this year than last year. The first crop of peas are up. They are about an inch or so high. One advantage of being so cold is that the slugs are still sleeping.

The asparagus is finally surfacing. It looks like we might have a nice asparagus and egg breakfast next weekend. Fingers crossed.

We also have ten new laying hens. But they are still very young. They look like tiny dinosaurs at the moment. They haven't quite grown all their feathers.

In the greenhouse, my first round of tomatoes are up. I planted them two weeks ago.
This morning I added another three varieties.

The list is:
Legend
Beefsteak (Ukrainian)
Czech
Brown plum
And a mixed package of heirloom seeds that I accidentally bought at the seed sale.
