I was going to say that it was starting to feel like spring...until we woke up to snow this morning!
The first seedlings are planted - arugula is first to sprout again! Broccoli and kale aren't far behind.
The grass is starting to grow again and the sheep were happy to be let out to graze in the orchard while I planted some garlic (they decided to pull it up at Nathan's work so we transplanted it here - we'll see if it grows after being so disturbed).
That's one big future veggie patch...
Our compost pile is HOT! Hopefully that will kill any seeds in the hay and we'll end up with enough to spread thick on the orchard.
We moved the ewes out to prepare for lambing next month. They need a substantial amount of grain every day now and Thomas is looking even more pregnant than they are with his extra snacking.
Amelia is huge! There must be twins in there...or triplets...
Neither goats nor sheep are impressed at the new shared living quarters.
Nathan's mushroom spawn arrived and he has it growing in sterilized hay and coffee grounds. Yay!...mushrooms....!
(I don't like cooked mushrooms, but I'm starting to eat them on pizza and in pasta. Maybe I'll love them by the time these oyster mushrooms grow).
We missed having the calf born here by just a few days! Meghan's calf had her calf at her owner's property yesterday. We're going to go visit today. I wish the calf had been born here...we shouldn't have helped with the trailer loading!
