The #incubation process has officially begun for the year. I can’t wait for the new chicks to join our family. I’ll be candling them in a few days to see which ones are fertile. The kiddos are super excited.

I think there were mass casualties in the greenhouse. My sickness caused poor planning and well the cold weather will do cold things. Loss count tbd.
I now have a backup propane heater in place to try and salvage as many plants as possible.
I’ve been sicker than a dog the past couple days. I rarely get sick but when I do it takes me to my knees. Severe bodyaches, crazy head pressure, vomiting, fever, icy lung coughs. I’m ready to get over this. Been slamming kombucha and echinacea tea.
Lots of viruses going around in our region. Y’all stay healthy and warm out there.
As promised here is the gutter system I decided to put together in the freezing cold. My finger tips may not recover. 🥶0 material purchased, 100% #reused. May not be pretty, but it’s functional. Now to plumb it into the collection tank. #build #grownostr
We got another bioreactor built. I’m super excited about this mix. Has quite a bit of biochar, chicken coop bedding, food scrap pit mix, indigenous leaf mold, and capped with some Nicky aged wood chips.
Anyone have experience propagating passion fruit (maypop) from root cuttings? I had success with vine cuttings but I want to get a head start for some spring sales as these are in pretty high demand. #propagation #garden #homestead #asknostr
Taking a shot at #grafting today with some Asian #pear scion wood. Grafted to a native pear, Bartlett pear, and a kiefer pear. This is a learning experience for me. I’ve never attempted grading before. It may be too early in the season for sap to be flowing but I thought I’d give it a shot.
