April 6, 7, and 8 (and some more days after that) we put a lot of crops in the ground, and now several have popped up! We've planted peas, potatoes, lots of green leafy things, summer turnips, beets, onions, and some other stuff I'm forgetting at the moment. It's so hard to put my little baby greenhouse plants outside into the dirt! I'm just scared they won't make it after all the work I put into them...but, so far, so good! We have an area we're trying to plant that is quite rocky unfortunately...and our precision seeder (for the smallest seeds) sure doesn't like it! So, so much for 'precision seeding.' I'll be out there hand-thinning all that stuff pretty soon.
We got our 50 baby chickies (red cornish broilers) a week ago! I know, I need to post photos! But, that often goes by the wayside when we are busy. Plus, one of our daughter's favorite toys is the camera, so we never quite know where it's at! They little guys started escaping their brooder tub on day 4, at 5 days old! So, we had to scramble around and make a new one for them out of some junk we found lying around here. It's actually pretty sweet. They're pretty happy now, and running *fast* all over their place, and growing wing feathers already. It's hard to catch them! Of course Lea likes to hold them as much as she can, and put them in a basket for Easter. Pretty cute!
*Will* try to post pics soon!*
