Migrating Micros!

The main seed starting area is bursting at the seams with flats of seeds waiting to germinate, seedlings growing strong, and ones waiting for the soil to be ready, thus the micros had to make way. Now they are in the cool room, which has been converted with a basic heater and some lights into a tiny growing room (some of those seedlings will also end up here).

The hens are still enjoying every little bit of sun and warmth they can get, especially since it's gonna get cold for a while.

Hella continues to shun the wet muddy world outside in favor of the sunny spots in the dry, warm house.

And I continue to putter away organizing and prepping the 15-20 different projects that pop up during the week and that need to be done before the 'real' farm work of prepping soil, planting, and harvesting gets underway. 

Even if it's raining or hailing, I'll be at the Fireman's Park parking lot on Friday from 12-1230 with lots of duck egg (be sure to check out the recipe for creme brulee), rainbow eggs, and fresh tasty microgreens.

The micros are now in the cool (warm?) room enjoying a space of their own, waiting until the cold passes and they can then be grown under the big, blue sky.

The run that blew down in the storm is almost finished, but the hens don't mind as they get let out in the sunny weather and take advantage of the time to roam and scratch and peck and squabble.

More organization to help keep me on the straight and narrow, lean up the farm, and bring some semblance of order to inherent chaos. Gotta get ready for the season!

Hella follows the sunshine as it's rays move throughout the house. Still too wet for her to want to venture out very much

This is all you need to make extra creamy duck egg creme brulee, and you won't even need that many eggs! The recipe is up on my website and is easy to make, will keep in the fridge, and is super impressive!

Yummy! A crispy sugar crust concealing a creamy custard underneath! Make a batch for a nice weekend dinner and another batch to enjoy throughout the week!
