My seed potatoes are ready to go if the weather would cooperate.





Bought a couple of different " store bought " varieties too. Waiting for them to scab over.

I've been quarrying some limestone off the place for a retaining wall around a building expansion. The wind lifted the lid off of my cold frame and broke it. Wind gusts of 50 mph yesterday with some tornadoes in the area.

I found a local ( 2.5 miles ) source of rabbit by-product and brought home 300lbs today. The dogs are fascinated with it. They have been guarding it all morning. It can be applied cold ( without composing first ).

I've got some seed potatoes waiting to be put out when I get done with this weekend's move BACK to VA thanks to the supervisors at the place I worked canning a bunch of the new guys (myself included)

Fresh how big is the expansion going to be.

Fresh how big is the expansion going to be.

No final plans yet. The main objective was to open up access to the current building. The back door never opened to anywhere so If I needed a piece of equipment out of the back it required moving things around to get it out the front door. Now I can take smaller equipment ( riding mower, tillers, log splitter, festivas, etc. )out the back. There will be an alleyway around the north side of the building to bypass all the equipment in the front of the building. Plus by going out the back I have a flat smooth shortcut to the pasture and garden. I may build a small carport for a couple of vehicles and a place to store my junk out of sight from the front of the house. It really opens the building up and increases its utility.

Thanks man ! I found this stuff around the place today. Now to catch some fresh crappie and I'll have my fantasy spring meal.

[sc72]

Oh crap now my mouth is watering, Asparagus, Morrell mushrooms and Crappie that would be a great meal. It has rained here everyday for what seems like forever but the mushrooms should really pop if we get some sunshine soon. I like what you have done around the shop and ya that should make it easy or better when you need to get to your equipment. What do you have in your pond for fish.

[freshtiva]

What do you have in your pond for fish.

Crappie, bass, catfish. Now that I think about it, frog legs would be a good substitute for crappie.
