The corn went in on Thursday while the other vegetable beds were cleared for planting. This year we decided to put up fencing that should keep the chickens and (hopefully) deer out of the market gardens. 
Carrots, onions and potatoes were set out in our half barrel system for root crops. We like to keep edible root crops in sterile soils each year. Netting is needed over these too or the chickens will harvest the greens long before maturity.
The cover crops have done well keeping the weeds under control. Can you find the four leafers in these two clusters of clover?
How 'bout now?
The chickens have moved into production gear. We're getting plenty of eggs for Easter. $4.00 per dozen for local pickup/delivery. The quails are just starting to lay. We should see more of their eggs as the season progresses.
And Ashe says HAPPY EASTER!
