Hi Y'all!! Woke up this morning to no power. :barnie Apparently it went out at about 4:40 am and was finally restored about 10:30. No coffee!! :(

The veggie starts are doing great. I'm afraid they are getting a little "leggy" though. I didn't use any lights other than sunlight. Hopefully I can find some adequate soil soon.

The girls are getting back to full force! Been averaging 4 eggs a day from 5 hens. I expect 5 a day within the next week or so. We are at just over 13 hours of visible light daily!

The temps are climbing too. Yesterday it was 83 degrees and soon I'll be complaining about how hot it is! :lol:

Have a great day everybody!! :frow

We had a high of 82 yesterday! I was soaking those rays baby! :lol: Today, it is 66, and expected to be 47 by Mon/Tue :/ Oh well, it was fun being like CL for a day! ;)

Sorry to hear about the power. I was banned from coffee years ago. Man, those were some tough withdrawals!! It doesn't work for me like it does you 'normal' people anyway - I used to drink it to relax and go to sleep! :lol:

My ladies have fallen right off since we put He-man Hen Hater back in with them :/ Will be glad when we get some chicks hatched, so I can eat him!!!

You need a little stovetop percolator! For emergencies of course! Glad your starts are up and growing!
