Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

Well live and learn that peach trees are finiky to frost. We have plenty of cherry trees and apple trees in the garden. The peach tree is a bit of a challenge in our zone too. My neighbor built a frame around the peach trees then adds plastic to protect from frost. It’s a common practice here on smaller gardens.

That’s a smart idea!

OK, this is one.Weird. Spring.
First, I was moving things around and drove past my beautiful "never gives me peaches" peach tree AND it has 7 flowers on it!
Next, although I dug the trenches for the 15 seed potatoes yesterday, I Really should have had my phone. First shovel full midway down I find a large.white.chicken.EGG!!!!!!!!
Three inches down, and my shovel broke it.
It HAS to be fresh.
I DON'T have any chickens right now.
I broke it in half and saw the yolk spill out.
IF it had been old it would have reaked to high heaven!!
Many years ago, I had a makeshift chicken coop, made from a pallet and two pieces of plywood, like a tent.
I couldn't figure out WHY the hens weren't laying.
They were laying...they had tunneled underneath it and I found old and FOUL eggs there.
THIS egg was fresh.
I am Guessing that the idiot with his Hobby Farm had a bird escape and she laid it sometime this week.
They have chickens and geese and peacocks--who are loud and obnoxious.
Regardless, I reburied it.

I go all 15 seed potatoes, Purple Majesty IN THE GROUND!!! It's already raining and won't stop until Sunday afternoon, so the timing is great.
I also finished cleaning out the 14 1/2 cu ft freezer. We pick up "Greenland" tomorrow morning, all 963 pounds of Black Angus.
