Nothing does my heart better than to give the little specialty chickens their access back to the outdoor tractor again. This morning was Spring moving day for Topaz, Chanticleer, and our little D'uccle hen whose name escapes me at the moment (I will have to wait till Sid gets home from school for that one :)
We are in the process of scoping out which beds to set our first salad greens, leeks, and radishes to seed in. No worries about spinach, it over-wintered and is thriving! Since we can't rely on this amazing weather not being interrupted by a little jack frost, we are going to order two high tunnels for beds that we will attempt all season gardening in.
The garlic is managing to push it's way through all of the heavy straw that we had piled on it's winter resting place and it looks to be strong and healthy.
I find the sun's higher location in the sky and the music of frogs, yes they're out already, songbirds, and roosters all around to be amazingly energizing and relaxing at the same time. I'm looking forward to a weekend of 4-h, sunshine, soccer, and gardening! Happy Friday!
