We had a surprise the other day when we looked in the Broody box. There was a baby chick in there when we didn’t think the eggs were going to hatch for another 5 days. We decided this one must have been in the box when we put the other 8 eggs in. I’m not convinced of that but I can’t think up another explanation. Milly and the kids decided it was time to get our garden plants started for the year. We dug up some dirt and found lots of containers to house the plants until the June timeframe. It was a pretty big mess but when we are talking dirt it just doesn’t seem messy. Molly spent the day with her hand in the dirt piling up cups so Milly could plant the starts. We not have tomato’s, peppers, herbs of all sorts, broccoli, chives, etc. all ready to be transferred into our garden. We cut out milk cartons to plant the tomato’s. We had to get donations for the milk jugs as we haven’t purchased a milk jug in so long we didn’t have any lying around. Our window sill is filling up. Ringo has marigolds in the yellow flower pot. He saves Marigolds from year to year so he has lot of seeds to share. Our first couple of tomato plants have buds on them already. We are lucky to have a good south facing window that gets lots of light. Our coffee table has now been multitasked to be the plant table. I sure do like spring. Baby chicks and newly planted starts are a great was to make you feel summer is just around the corner.
