Same ole, same ole. We are only harvesting eggs right now. We are up to a dozen/day. Love it! π
We had snow and ice this week. I was unable to plant anything (even though my calendar says I am supposed to) or even go outside much. Brr. More snow is forecasted for this week. I realize we are not alone.
Even though more snow is forecasted in the upcoming week, our temps are rising. We are getting out of the single digits and teens and into the 20s as lows.
In other news…our bulbs are starting to poke through the mulch!!!
These pics were pre-snow/ice. They did make it through the precipitation however π Speaking of…You can see, I do have some greenhouses planted already (celery, onions, lettuces, broccoli, cabbage, and kale).
I am hoping to be able to plant some more greenhouses this week. The ground is still frozen so nothing in the soil yet… I also need to clean out the coop and I’ll spread the manure in my future sweet potato patch. This may or may not happen…if they daytime highs don’t get out of the 30s, I may have little motivation to work outside.
I am chomping at the bits to spend some time outside (as are my kids!) and I know I am not alone! Check out what other gardeners are up to at Daphne’s Dandelions.
We are getting some days in the 30s now, Though still a lot in the teens. I can’t wait for it to get warmer. The small taste of warmth I had on Sunday was really nice.
Bulb foliage peaking through is a sure sign that spring is just around the corner…I wish ours would hurry up but I have a feeling it’s going to be late again like last year.
Love all the new life popping through the snow. Not something we ever get to experience!
I’m so tired of this deep freeze and snow. Spring seem so far away. Glad to see there is life peaking through your soil.

Our bulbs are starting to break through also but are now under the snow. π¦ We are all ready for spring and itching to get outside too!
us too! we just got 6″ last night.
Here in the mountains of NC flower bulbs are starting to emerge & this is usually one of our worse winter months here. :~/
