And boy is it a doozy! May I present to you the World's first lesbian chicken couple: Portia and Ellen!
These lovely ladies are our greenhouse chickens. Besides keeping things exciting, they help keep the insects and worms away from our lettuce. Portia is the Partridge Rock (dark brown with textured feathers) on the left, and Ellen with the auburn coloring. Props to Brendan for so aptly naming the girls...
Well, Chris was right about a last late frost. We're expecting lows in the 20's and snow the next 2 nights. Today was spent frantically building a warming 'shed' within the greenhouse to keep our recently (and frantically, by yours truly) sowed tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants from freezing alive.
After all, who wouldn't want to save a tomato named "Radiator Charlie's Morgage Lifter"?!
