Dude got some of the gardens rototilled.
These are the gardens I put chicken manure on all winter.
200 onions planted. 100 more to go. They store nicely during the winter.
I have no clue why he bought tomato plants. They began to die but I am determined to save them and get them growing in the greenhouse. It is waaaaaaaaaay to early to plant outside in Colorado. The rule of thumb here is salads, greens and root vegetables such as beets and carrots are planted St. Patrick's day and later. Everything else Mother's Day and later here. We have a short growing season but we make the best of it. We grow what we can. We have the threat of hail, tornadoes and microbursts in late spring and early summer. It has been known to snow in May as well. An example of weather here, today it will be in the seventies and tomorrow in the forties with a possibility of snow.
These are the trees I started. They all have buds on them.
More planting happened in here.
The meat chickens are doing great. Only a couple more weeks for them and then they go to the butcher.
Mint is doing well and I will make some jelly this weekend for our lamb.
Dandelions too... jelly on the way.
All the tulips we planted in the fall are coming up. Spring is always late in Colorado but worth the wait.
peace
