My brain is all over the place these days. Organization doesn't come naturally to me and taking on another job has me scattered! This is a #seewhatisee kind of #walkwithme and a bit of #doyougrow because my life is all about seeds and plants these days....
A coloring oddity in the Red Rubin Basil. You do you, little Basil!!
First thing I do these days is check on my kombucha attempt. I was given a scoby in started tea and following directions carefully, I have fed her and am waiting patiently for her to do her thing! Fingers crossed!
Mother in the smaller jar and sweet tea cooling in the background
She is now in her new home, feeding on the sugar and tea
I have no cupboard space to spare so I wrapped a tea towel around the jar to keep it warm and dark. I added a love note so she is happy and knows she is loved :)
2 days in and I see a thin scoby starting on the surface!!!
Checking on my girls is still weird with so many missing. The teenage chicks are almost allowed out here for good, there is no point this weekend as we are getting a huge storm. They need to get out of the house though, we have new Brahma chicks that need their pen!
5 of the 6 left. Adele is missing from this pic, she is broody and won't leave the cat carrier. Kind of sad since we have no rooster, poor girl. This is Daisey, Reba, Penelope and wee Blanche in the very back
Big Billie Girl
I went around the side for 1 minute to check for eggs and they escaped. Ugh, I need to find the hole and block it. No free rangers until we get the electric fence set up....
Bad #chickenbitches
Oh, hello Spike!
He hates it when I try to talk to him outside haha. I think I blew his cover. I guess he doesn't want to hang out right now!
Hey 
Now for a greenhouse check. It is pretty much good as I watered yesterday. All of these guys are probably itching to be planted. Here are some progress pics of some of the herbs started last month.
Lemon Balm
I always pinch leaves to make them bushier. See the double leaves? Those are 2 new stems
Lots of new growth at the bottom. Lemon balm epically spreads through your garden, so containers for it are a good idea!
Sweet Basil
Purple Sage with new bottom growth helped out by pinching leaves up top
Oregano
French Thyme and some Summer Savory
Tobacco
Lovage
Looks like some garlic from last year wasn't picked! I need to dig this out and eat it!!
That is all in here for today. I need to get going on more transplants and seed starting the brassicas now. I hope you all have a great Friday night and weekend! I will leave you with a peek at the new Brahma babes! It looks like we have 2 cockrels and 2 pullets! Luckily, I am able to trade back the extra roo for a hen as the person who gave them to me is a breeder and needs boys! Win, win!
Cuties just getting their real feathers in
Look at those feet!!!!
Thank you for reading! Take care of you and yours ❤
