Frost blackens sprouting potatoes; 310 trees arrive
A recent freeze killed and blackened all the potatoes that were coming up. Maybe they will re-grow.
One hundred broiler chicks arrived Wednesday morning and are brooding in the greenhouse.
Our new layer flock of 45 Australop hens are starting to lay small pullet eggs.
I thought I knew what I was going to be doing Thursday until Fed-Ex showed up at 10 a.m. with 310 bare root trees I had ordered – 300 black locust for a living fence/future firewood and fence posts and 10 paw-paw trees.
We got 200 black locust trees planted by Friday evening with a KBC planting bar.
