I hate to say it because it’ll probably make it rain from now until the end of time, but I’m actually pretty much on schedule for seeding and transplanting in the field right now. I don’t know when that has ever happened–usually either the weather doesn’t cooperate or I don’t have my poop in a group for whatever reason. So, there’s that.
I got a dozen chicks just for fun and to try out the whole laying hen thing. The newly-hatched chicks were super cute–little puffballs. I got them on the 4th and 5th and they’ve already doubled in size at least. Elden has been building two chicken tractors and has them just about finished, so I’ll be able to get the girls out on grass in a few weeks, as soon as they’ve got all their feathers for warmth.
My parents showed up this weekend and it’s great to have them around again, though they’ve got commitments back in Iowa periodically. Britt has come out a couple times and we were able to transplant a whole bunch of stuff each of those days. There’s nothing like good help to make a farmer happy.

Hurray for a beautiful start! Keeping fingers crossed that the weather will cooperate this year!
Cute chicks!!!
We had quite a downpour here in Gary New Duluth early Monday morning and some pea size hail. How did you weather the rain? I do hope it did not damage your plants or hoop house??
We didn’t get any hail; it was north of us, apparently. Thanks for your concern!
