new background

So I started a blog. I'm a planner. I like to organize and prioritize. Sounds kind of weird for a gardener, but hey, its who I am. I like dirt. I like starting things from seeds and help them become the greatness that is veggie! I spent countless hours/days/weeks/months preparing for my garden adventure. I read. I read seed catalogs, old books of my mother's, other gardeners' blogs, random websites about gardening basics, and magazines. With that said, I will forever be a beginner gardener/farmer. So, again, I started a blog. I'm going to share my gardening ups and downs, what worked for me and, of course, my epic failures. I love to share tricks and knowledge and experiences with people that I've learned over time. So please, read my blog and come over to my garden, and mostly, enjoy!

Countdown to CHICKS

Hubby finally gave in and let me order the chicks a few weeks ago. They are due to ship the first week in May. (around the same time that my sis's baby is due...yikes) I can't wait. Sophia is already talking about them tickling her and peeping at her. We are "breaking ground" on the coop this weekend, weather permitting. I order 5 different breeds and 7 total chicks. Two Buff Orpingtons, two Americaunas, a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Delaware (b/c hubby insisted on an all white chicken and this one has a little black mohawk as a chick--how appropriate), and a Partridge Plymouth rock. I think their colors will spice up my garden quite nicely. I keep daydreaming about sitting outside in the evening around the fire pit, knitting, watching my girls peck around for bugs.
