Not too much to post but i'm checking in, Hi!

Dave and Parry made a larger and more secure enclosure for the chicks because one of the more ambitious ones "flew the coop" (at only one week old! yikes!) they should be nice and safe in this new run, and soon they'll have a cozy coop to live in outside. We should have eggs in a few months.

Thanks so much Dave and Parry! I am so lucky to have such smart and talented men in my life!



We are growing our garden from seed again this spring, and everything sprouted and is growing fast (despite lily watering a few too many times a day and charlie switching plant labels and decorating with toys and crackers... perils of living in the playroom, i'm afraid!)
tricolor beans, basil, dill
cucumbers, brussels sprouts, tomatoes

we're also growing chives, dill, bell peppers and hot peppers. Yum!

We hated our lack of home grown foods this winter. What food plants can I keep alive inside all winter? Small fruit tree? Tomato plant with a grow light? Any advice?
