Sold some Chicks

 

Listed them for sale Saturday evening. Friday morning had people lined up to buy them; well a few people lined up to buy them.

So them Saturday morning, turns out I sold them to friends from high school.

Sold them for $25 each; I'll bet we could have gotten $30 out of them in this year's market, but I'm content with what we got.

I had originally gotten 12, rather than the six that we needed, with the intention that I'd sell six to pay for the 12 and their first few months of supplies. And it worked perfectly. I love it when a plan comes together.

 

(These are the ones we kept.) 

 

First three tomatoes outdoors.​

Admittedly, they are under a thermal cover, and pretty well protected, but they are Outdoors 3 weeks early.

Each one got about a cup worth of worms and worm castings from the worm bed, some 555 organic, and some vitamin B1 transplant solution.

Also up potted a fair number of peppers, both mini bell peppers and full size bell peppers.

First Watering

 

First day watering the garden.

It's only been about four or five days since it last rained, but the garden is full of little bitty seedling plants with no roots. So I watered the garden.

 

Chicks' First Worms

 

Gave the baby chickens their first earthworms. They didn't know what to do with them.

Also planted a bunch of yellow dragon fruit seeds. Half of them in dirt half of them in wet paper towel. We'll see how they do.

 

 

Bulbs Coming Up

 

First time outside.

 

Brought one batch of the baby girls outside. Their first time out ever. 

 

They stayed huddled in a single mass for a while. After an hour, hour and a half, they began to explore a little bit. My lady gave them some shards of lettuce and of kale. 

 

They're sort of indifferent. Sampling it a little here and there, sampling the grass here and there. It's like it's a whole new experience.

I refer to these girls as my chicken starts.
