Buds on the bushes! And green in the garden. I think spring us here. Have a look!
Do you see Pania in there?
Rhubarb.
Horseradish.
The ducks LOVE their sprouts. I tuck them into their water tray and they stay fresh all day. Because the sprouts are jammed in there they can yank at them and pull pieces out to eat.
The asparagus is popping up too – I will show you tomorrow.
I hope you have a lovely day!
Love celi

Yay!!
agreed
Yay, daffodils and asparagus and fast growing little ducklings, the busy season has started. Laura
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz / I wonder where the birdie is (I know where she is, behind the budding bushes!) 🙂
Love the daffodil! And that you feed the sprouts to the ducklings.
The spring chicks and duck are so cute, as are the spring pigs. Fresh horseradish!?!?!?! My nose is running at the thought! Yum! Are the green tops spicy and eatable? I once had beet greens – and since I look at all the green leaves of root vegetables and wonder about their taste.
the green tops are a little spicy and saleable – I will be selling them shortly
Beet greens – yummy! Ate them as a kid on the farm, with a little butter and salt and pepper – so delish1 My husband had never had them, which really surprised me since I had thought his Latvian mother would have known about that. But apparently beets weren’t a big deal there – maybe more so now. he was quite pleased with them, so now they never go to waste.

Yahoooo!!! Finally Spring has reached you!!! About time!!! I have to brag that we ate our first bunch of asparagus from the garden a few days ago!
So exciting! Also, my John has the ‘sprouts for the pigs and other animals’ project going in the garage! Very exciting too!!!
I love how fast it is! Only a week and it is feeding time…
spring springs eternal…just as it eventually does every year. I am pleased that your world is warming up
And our new Prince has been born
You are so far ahead of me despite the same zoning.. looks awesome!
Oh, I miss our ducks. The lovely thing about ducklings is that unlike chicks, they just gradually evolve into ducks! They change from fluff balls to feathers without us noticing somehow. No straggly, tufty, non-uniform plumage, or legs that seem to be too long for their bodies (a bit like gangly teenagers!) Yes, ducks have certainly mastered the evolution to maturity in a subtle, stylish way. Chicks take note!

That one’s definitely thinking different to the team.
Such a relief, isn’t it? I have started bean sprouts and have seeds waiting for alfalfa because of you! I should be able to harvest my beansprouts tomorrow. I’m very excited! I’m “farming” in my kitchen. 👩🌾 hehehe. Thank you.
Spring! Baby ducklings! and daffodils….have a wonderful day!
we need more love these days and less judgmental sniping. Have a wonderful week! Spring is here! Yay!
It’s very spring like here too at last. We had a really hot weekend, more like summer than spring. Back to normal temps now. We have a duck nesting in one of our plant containers! I can’t go out my back door at the mo as she is sitting on the eggs all day now. I just hope they all survive after they hatch. I think I will have to do road patrol for them. Duck lollipop lady! 😀
Yes! So glad spring has finally arrived for you. Here in the Bay Area CA, it is also finally warming up (we went from hail and thunder at the beginning of the week to 85 degrees by the weekend. ???). Got my tomatoes and peppers in the ground this weekend, beans planted. Corn is planted, winter squash planted. Almost time to harvest the shallots and get some cucumbers in that bed! Hops twining up their strings and climbing for the skies!
Also saw our first yellow jacket, a harbinger of a different sort 🙂
Enjoy your day –
Cheers, Elizabeth
