Winning seeds

I won the Winter Sowing Kickoff and Free Seeds Giveaway from Amy over at Get Busy Gardening. She was very generous with the annual seeds from her own garden. Most I have already winter sown and look forward to enjoying them this summer.


Many of my winter sown perennials have germinated and have a set of true leaves. The bachelor buttons are huge and I want to plant them out, but I am not sure they can take the cold weather yet. Here they all are enjoying the beautiful weather we have this afternoon.

New Chicks

The new chickens are here all 27 of them. They are all Barred Rock except for Mary who is a Americana. Out of the varieties that we had for the last two years, we found the Barred Rocks to be friendlier.

Crocus

A bright and sunny day has finally opened all the crocuses.
