Bugs... are so so
My bugs are so so, but still there. I am using Neem and a few other organic methods, Garlic spray... i still have a few matters in the grow room until the pest are all gone. Also chickens are keeping warm by sleeping on top of each other. Also why don't they go into the chicken box and not sleep on the floor when it is this cold???/ I have to stick them in there each night.,

to plant or not to plant?
What a great busy weekend. The girls and i took the chicks out for a stroll. When they first hit the grass free from their cage they were like "what is this and i am free" after a few min they started to act like chickens and pecking the ground looking for bugs. We had a good time with them.
I spent all day Saturday finishing all the wire for the coupe (killed me), it was really hard work and took hours. I also put in all the doors, egg, clean out and main door. All i need to do is finish the roof and the egg house. I am having issues with the roof cost. I really don't want to spend a 100$ on the roof. So i am trying to figure out what to do...
As for the garden, i have taken out 3 trays of tomato to harden off. I choose not to plant until the soil get a bit warmer. I did however plant a row of Brussel Sports. I am going to plant squash , cucs and beans in two weeks. I will plant a few tomato plants this week for a test.
I promise i will take pictures tomorrow.

Week 2 , Garden Prep, sprinkles coming
I finally got all the rows laid out. 8 rows for the tomato in the tomato cage. I think i should be able to get 15 tomato plants per row. Will see how it goes when i plant on April 10 and the 15th.
One of the chicks seems a little slow. I am hoping she (Thelma) is feeling better tomorrow. She is drinking and eating. Tomorrow is week 2.
I also started another 50 Tomato seeds. I also hooked up the sprinkler to the timer. Yea! Bed time.
Back Yard Fire

More pictures to come this week. I had a very busy back yard weekend. Lots done in the garden. Almost all the rows are up and most of the weeds out. All the seedlings are coming up nice. The sprinkler just had it first run. It seems everything is on track. Chicks are growing.. pictures coming this week.
I am getting hungry..
