Spring! Finally! What? Its raining cats and dogs?

It finally happened, Spring arrived and went immediately to Summer. 90 degrees and then the rain started. It feels like Noah and the flood. I am not complaining other than I can't get any more vegetables planted because of it but I don't have to water the plants I do have planted.

The snails are coming out and so my 'good' beer is going to give them a real party that they won't recover from soon.

My chickens are getting frisky. Red is doing his best to take care of all the hens. At least they are still laying and the eggs are better than ever. The 'poop' is going into the garden as soon as it 'matures'. I have to let it decompose before adding it to the plants otherwise it will burn them.

My corn is coming along, the tomatoes have blooms (to get more fruit from them, shake gently until you can smell them). My lettuce was coming along fine until I found snails had been feasting on it hence the beer party.

My waterfall and fishpond are finished other than piping the fountain and the sprinkler so that they don't drain the pond every day. All my fish survived the winter so that is a good thing.
I will include pictures of my pond next time.

Recycle all the stuff you can and don't use plastic bags to carry your groceries. Kroger has some really nice bags that are roomy and sturdy for sale.

Good luck with your own chickens and garden.
