one more frost and I don't want to buy 'em twice . I'll be waiting a
couple of weeks minimum to plant the vine crops , got some cukes and
zukes and squashes I want to grow this year . And the strawberry patch
is blowin' up and the bees are working it steadily . I'm really
optimistic about the garden this year , it's started out really well ...


My son has been raising his own veggies from seed for the last month. So
far, so good!Â* Now all he has to do is clean out the old chicken coup to
put his new hen chicks in it.


Â* If he's planning on using that chicken litter as fertilizer make sure
he knows that it must be composted before use . It's really high in
nitrogen and will burn the tender young roots if he uses it straight
from the coop .


The stuff that needs cleaning is old, so it'll go straight into the
beds, more than likely.
