Just finished off the green beans and corn we put up last year.  It’s about time to start planting again. As soon as the garden dries out enough I will try to get started.

So far it has been a good spring. Asparagus and onions are coming up. Rhubarb is waiting for a pie shell. Blueberries are blooming. My plan was to plant more blueberry bushes but I haven’t gotten around to it yet. Probably won’t get a strawberry patch going until next year. (Sorry Somer)

Christopher will be pleased to know that chickens are laying good. One hen is setting on three eggs but just from observing goings on in the chicken pen, I suspect they may be duds. Time will tell.  

On the subject of chickens, below is a link to an excellent report on bird flu. Please check it out!!

“This paper presents a fresh perspective on the bird flu story that challenges current assumptions and puts the focus back where it should be: on the transnational poultry industry.”
