It’s a busy time of year here.
Preparing the garden for spring is in full swing. Our brother-in-law got a plow and harrow for his tractor and he was kind enough to plow our garden area for us. To prepare for that, we needed to dig up our strawberries that we had planted 2 years ago. They needed to be thinned and spread out anyway and consolidated. We split them up the fall before last into two beds but they were spread apart and I wanted to get them all in one place. It seemed easiest just to dig them up temporarily and transplant them into where there new permanent home will be. Much to my surprise I ended up digging over 1000 strawberry plants! Well, I don’t need to replant anywhere near that many. I have some listed on craigslist but if you are interested in some strawberry starts email me.
Also, the greenhouse is slowly filling with seedlings and we are expecting baby piglets starting about the first of April. We are also expecting our young LGD, Poppy, to have puppies on the first of April. Our spring chicks will start arriving on the 24th of March and then our broiler raising season will be in full swing.
Happy Spring Everyone!
