Our weatherman is calling it "second winter" since we got to seventy degrees just days before this happened. Now we are in a cold front that's sticking around with snow, but it might warm up a bit more soon.
The garlic is starting to come up, as is the rhubarb. I saw a tulip starting to peek through this morning, too, so spring is coming. That means garden beds prep more than anything else right now, and seed starting, which I'm seriously behind on. It also means ducklings, and we will likely be getting some late this week, so we need the brooder up and ready. Spring is the start to the homestead season where everything speeds up and you can't keep up with all the work. I can't, at least. This is also usually when I start getting grumpy at being as disabled as I am and my chronic pain that makes me stop and rest when there's still so very much to do. So, my goal is to get caught up this week on seed starting, get set for ducklings, and get the garden beds further along and ready for planting. Potatoes and onions go in the ground in two weeks, which isn't much time. What are you working on for spring?
