We will be doing meat chickens (the double breasted type) in about 9 weeks will start best to get your order in soon -- so you don't miss out on these.

Do you need any fertilizer or other garden needs for vegetables or flowers have garden supply books from the other farm that is working with me this year.

I got two of the four fields plowed this weekend -- get a early start on getting them fitted up and going to use plastic on some this year to get an early start on some things and see how it works for me. Should cut down on some of my labor which I need to do, as I really can not afford help and hard to find anyone whom knows working in fields or fence work or able to keep up with the weather and labor of working in the fields. It is not easy and you have to keep a steady pace as some jobs pay cost more then what the product can be sold for. I see today that my Lemon Verbena made it through the winter in the green house. It looked dead but, I kept it as some woody plants look that way in the winter. I was right new leaves are starting and new growth at the base of the plant. That is great news. All my Rosemary plants made it this year through winter in the green house they are blooming now. The French Tarragon, Lavender, oregano, English Thyme are all growing and am taking small cuttings to help them fill out. My leeks are starting up. Mark has started seed for me as he has a larger better heated green houses, celery, peppers, tomatoes and some flowers, egg plant, sweet basil, okra and more.
I know you all are enjoying this warm weather but, I am worried as all the tender shoots are starting and it is way too early should we get some heavy freezes it will kill or damage them which will make for a bad year for fruit, berries and flowers.
