Today in Wisconsin, I planted some seeds...
Not out in the garden, mind you. They are in seed-starting flats in the house. I plan to get them growing before they are planted outdoors. These are all medicinal plants: thyme, lemonbalm, lemongrass, feverfew, St. John's Wart, Helichrysum and a few others.
I did plant my onions outside today. It's been a good spring, and I have faith. The other plants have to wait though. I see my lemonbalm plant out in the garden from last year has started to produce leaves. My yarrow plants look awesome already.
Around the yard, my apple trees are beginning to get their leaves, as well as my currant and blueberry bushes. I have a cherry tree also getting leaves. That was a bummer, as I had planned to trim it a bit, but time got away.
Our chicken bedding gets thrown right into the chicken run when we clean their house. In the run it turns to compost, and we put that on the raised beds this time of year.
We tried to buy some Cinnamon Queen chickens today, but the store was out of that breed today. So no new chickies today. Cinnamon Queens are highly superior in my opinion, for the cold temps in Wisconsin. They are nice to each other and they lay eggs all winter.
