Here's the picture I promised of the patio peppers after they were out of transplant shock (and grown on for a week).  They look better, don't they?

We got all the quart tomatoes planted this weekend (except the red grape tomatoes, I still waiting on seed for them).  Lucas was a really, really big help with that. 

Here are the planted trays (there really are seeds in there, I promise).

And here are the ones we planted last week.

And this one is just for the cuteness value.  Though you can see behind Hazel that the onions are coming on very nicely.

Paul and Quinlan have gotten some of the first greenhouse planted.  They've put in onions, lettuce and kohlrabi.  I don't know if you can see it so well but here are some pictures of their hard work.

And here's a view from the opposite end of the greenhouse.

Finally got the chickens moved

Well the chickens are finally in a different greenhouse.  They're loving it.  They have lots of dead tomato plants to pull down and scratch to pieces.  And all kinds of different little seeds and stuff in the soil.  They are completely enjoying the change of scenery.  I haven't gotten pictures yet, but I will pretty soon.

We got some tomatoes seeded for quart tomatoes to sell at the market.  Only about nine varieties and some lettuce,  but hopefully we'll get the rest by next week.  

More planting

We transplanted the patio peppers this weekend.  The top picture is how they looked before we transplanted them.  The bottom is how they looked after.  They had also just been watered, so they don't look like they're in very good shape.  Next week I'll post a picture of how they look then.  It's amazing to see the difference.

We also seeded some of the peppers that I had to reorder and more lettuce.  This is the lettuce that the rabbits got.

Lucas's pak choy (pictured below) were right beside the lettuce and the rabbits didn't touch them.  I don't know why, we've tasted them and they're good.  Just not rabbit food apparently.

Our onions are doing well.  Here they are.

And a final picture.  The plants are onions and peppers.  The people are Lucas, Clarissa and my mom, not that you can really tell except for Clarissa

Farmer's Market meeting

Today is the meeting to pick spots at the Falls Park Farmer's Market (and pay for them, of course).  We'll try for the same spot we were in last year, though we're debating whether to get as much space as last year.  I guess we'll have to make up our minds soon. 

The plants are coming along pretty well, though a rabbit got in and got to the first lettuce.  We're going to have to replant that.  I'm not going to feel sorry for them when the dog or cats catch one anymore.  The whole tray is decimated.  I'll put up some pictures tomorrow.

Not getting the chickens moved

You would think that not moving chickens from one greenhouse to another wouldn't take much effort, wouldn't you?  Wrong.  Paul scooped a bunch of snow so we could loosen the wiggle wire on the side of the greenhouse to get their shelter out (it's actually a doghouse with a chicken wire door on it).  Then he and Lucas realized that a lot of the plastic was stuck down with ice.  So they de-iced for a while.  I'm sure you can see where this is going.  In the end they decided to wait until next week.
