Spring where oh where are you?  I’m still in shock over the severe cold that we have had here in Louisiana.  It is very hard to try to prepare for Spring projects when it is 30 degrees outdoors.  I have started already indoors.

This is my new set of grow lights that HL built before he left for work. I think we spent a total of $40 to build them and they will hold 4 72 cell trays. The tray to the left is full of cabbage, broccoli, raab, leeks, & onion starts.  I started them a couple weeks ago.  The other two trays were planted yesterday and have tomatoes, peppers, & herbs in them.   Last night I ordered medicinal herbs & perennial seeds for the butterfly garden I have planned for our patio area between the new sidewalks.

There are a few new arrivals on the farm.  Ruby the Lionhead rabbit and we just love her to pieces.  She arrived a few weeks before Christmas.

A new Serama Roo we purchased from Maine.

He is now breeding two little hens and one is now setting on a clutch of about 8 eggs. I hatched 3 Seramas in the incubator myself and have 5 to hatch in about a week.
Well I guess that’s about it around the farm.  I’ll be back to have a show & tell about all the knitting going on around here.

Eggs are pipping!  Eggs are pipping! We should have babies tomorrow!  Humidity in incubator is stable for hatching, my fingers are crossed, & I’m trying my best to keep the incubator closed!!  I have my alarm set to get up early with the chickens.
