lots of goodness in the garden this week & still so much to do

+ once the ground dries out (we might be waitin' awhile), we plan to till up a large space & plant tomatoes. our starts are showing their first true leaves. ripe tomatoes are just around the corner, friends!

+ harvested the last of our winter spinach & carrots. thankful for the crunch in march.

+ the girls have started laying! over a dozen eggs this week! thankful for their work.

+ planted some beautiful cosmic purple carrots in the garden yesterday evening. along with a row of beets & black simpson summer head lettuce in between each row.

+ weeded a few beds along with our perennial flower garden. the hens love that extra green goodness in their run.

+ enjoying the work outside with my hands. relaxed after a long day with a good book & a homemade chai latte. perfect.

  3. Beautiful photos! I love your chickens. I'm wanting to learn more about raising chickens soon so I can get some when we finally buy our own place.

    Love the lettuce---I've got a lot right now as well.

  5. Your blog makes me excited for spring! We are still getting winter weather where I am in Washington (including snow) and I'm getting antsy and want to go outside more often! :)
