They are two weeks old and just as cute as they can be. Our single adult duck (female) has taken to sleeping with them and doing a lot of quacking at them. We are hoping she will teach them the ropes.
We received over 30 inches of snow this winter and a lot of rain also. Our pond is completely full and the ground is mud! As the ranchers say:better mud than dust! We are hoping the drought wioll be eased this year.
Trees are all budding except my fig and olive tree, the last ones we planted in the fall. With the drought I may have lost them. I'll wait till mid-April before I replace them.
Our cold frame box kept us in greens over the winter. We had 3 months of Pak choy, radishes and now I have lettuce. I planted some bush beans, today, for an early pick.
Our crazy rooster kept eating all my swiss chard. We had to clip his wings so he can't fly over the fence, that was sadder to Steve than losing the swiss chard!
Now we wait to see if all the fruit trees will bud and bloom in late April. And, if warm weather ever gets here we will plan out last tilling and start to plant.
