It looks like the stars aligned and all four of our chickens are laying, because we got four eggs today! Pretty exciting news. The egg tally for all of February was a respectable 38, and by March 10th, we already had over 30 eggs for the month. Quiche, egg salad sandwiches, french toast, you name it, our menu is now leaning heavily toward it. Start sending those egg-heavy recipes!
The days are getting longer and it’s time to start thinking about putting things in the ground (but not too soon, if last year is any indication). We had been talking about setting up some kind of seed starting operation in the basement under flourescent lights, when out of the blue my dad showed up with what he called his “economic stimulus plan.” That is to say, he got us a pop-up greenhouse.
So we’re in the seed starting business. Hannah and I started with a bunch of egg cartons, and planted the seeds we saved from last year. Now the question is if anything will come up. We’ll have to wait and see.
