seeds are started!!!!

i started pepper and eggplants today
so far i have new ace and sweet banana peppers in the cups
and i planted orient express as well as hansel hybrid eggplants
then i put in some chard, silver beet, and fordhook giant
i sorted some seeds out as well

it was EXTREMELY warm out, i was shocked when i put the girls out
i got down to the big day pen!!! (it's been MONTHS) but the door is still iced shut.
my garden is still snow covered.
i got the little girls crate cleaned out......not as scrubbed as i would have wanted to but it's got all it's bedding changed
and tomorrow i think malcom will have his crate done as well
phoebe, amelia and prudence are all laying now
phoebe is still laying eggs the size of pigeon eggs
but she isn't bound so i'm ok with that
i put most of the chickens back in their pen....(i put all of them but as usual colette won't stay there)
if i had been able to open the back pen falstaff and lilli would have been out as well
i walked all three of the girls (not lilli however) around out back to mud puddle
and malcom too
falstaff has to wait though poor guy

i can not believe how warm it was today
amazing when i first walked out...it was warmer out then in!
if it stays a bit warmer then is seasonal for the rest of the winter/spring
we'll be ok with wood
but this summer i swear i am going to just keep getting cord wood in
even if i have to stack it out back in OUR WOODS
i would really like 2 years worth out there
(i had that but bernie gave me a really hard time about it...... however two year seasoned wood burns NICE)
anyway, while i am not ready for summer yet...i am ready for a lighter winter
but summer DOES bring my garden, and i sure do miss my garden..............
i miss cutting supper salads off the deck plants
and flipping slugs to the ducks

anyway
it was really actually warm today, a high on the deck of 68!
