Zoey

Kristine went to the feed store to get some more hay and alfalfa for Sally Sue(our horse). She returned with a little extra suprise... Zoey, a baby bunny!

Zoey will be living inside the house... between the baby grand piano and the 30 new baby chicks.

I wonder what Kristine will bring home next?

Slow Growing

The white,red and yellow Onions,Gourmet Garlic, Cabbage,Broccoli,Brussels Sprouts,Collards,Mustard and Arugula are looking great...just a little slow growing because of the colder than normal weather and lack of sun.


All our seedlings are growing. We will be transplanting this wave of veggies in a couple of weeks... kale,lettuce,red poc choy, cabbage and chard just to mention a few.
