Yesterday 2 little Nankins hatched. They are a rare breed of bantam chicken. Mom stuck tight to the nest all day today so more may have hatched.
The bed I planted the other day is looking ok so far.
Picking Calendula
And daffodils
And iris
To make bouquets for Superior
They are predicting nearly freezing temps tonight so brought the tomatoes and artichoke plants in. Was grey all day with an icy wind. 2 friends 2-5 miles in opposite directions from me both reported light snow.
I dropped some mulch on potatoes that I planted Wednesday whose sprouts were poking out and on the chayote sprouts. Then I covered the potted potatoes with heavy frost cloth. I undid the hoses and covered the faucets too.
I retreated to the house out of the nasty wind. Did up some dishes and cleaned up a bit. I scrambled up all the infertile and early quitter eggs that pulled from the incubator the other day. I’ll feed them to the chickens tomorrow as part of their feed.
Not sure but that might be what we called Indian onions when I was a kid. A native wild onion. I’ll have to check. Even if it isn’t it’s a pretty little flower right by where I walk

Certainly appreciating spring coming and looking forward to the abundance to follow.
