What did you do in your garden today?

Gonna be 78 down here today. Then back into the 50's. Totally weird!

I’m thinking my second… batch?… of bok choy that I planted a week after the first should be sprouting today!

Too freaking hot here. 74° right now.

I did set eggs in the incubator from two pens. Trial run on the new bator. Mostly blue eggs to further my silkie project.

Your silkies lay blue eggs? We've gotta talk - I need your secret, lol!

Eight some years ago I hatched silkie x ameraucana chicks. One was the rooster I had in with my large fowl. The two hens live with the silkies and I used them as a base for my silkie blue egg project. I have a couple gen 5 pullets now. They look like all the other partridge silkies. Only carry one copy of the gene. Haven't had a really good cockerel from a blue egg yet to start trying to get birds carrying two copies.

That is awesome! I hope you reach all your goals - and then I'll be begging for you to sell me some eggs, lol.

the raised bed is mostly set up and I bought lavender and chive seeds as well as 400 feet of Jute twine. I need some more soil but I only used 4 bags in total to get to where I did
