March 24: Seeds are sprouting

I planted 72 small peat pots on Saturday. Planted tomatoes, peppers, herbs, squash, all open-polinated. I've never planted with OP and I've never really tried planting my own seedlings. Its usually a bad combination to try multiple new methods at the same time but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll also be planting more OP seeds directly into the garden once it warms up a little.

I'm waiting for the arrival of another pear tree due this month. New bees are arriving April 12 and I've ordered a couple of new pullets which will arrive about the same time. 

I got lumber last weekend to build 15 new raised beds this year and the new chicken coop is definitely in the plans for this year. Next year, I want to raise meat birds for the freezer so I'll get the coop taken care of by fall.
