Garden 🪴
Finally got the starters planted and the ones I had to buy. What’s everyone else’s garden looking like? Excited for anything? We happened to find the peppers they use in Tabasco sauce and my oldest son and I are going to attempt to make some.

Finally got my tomatoes seedlings in the ground ( well not seedlings anymore lol) have the borage and basil and rosemary surrounding them, lets hope for a good harvest this go round. have the cucumbers seedlings in but need to setup their trellis and strawberries and sage setup, raspberries and blueberries have come back in full swing. peaches are happy and the last march frost we got didn’t hurt them one bit. My chamomile and lavender are making the bees happy. And I’m hoping to see more progress on the Pawpaws this year.

Simple Quiche
Ingredients - 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade) - 5 eggs - 1 cup milk or cream - 1 cup shredded cheese - 4–5 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled - ¼–½ onion, diced - Salt and pepper Instructions 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. Cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble. In the same pan, sauté the diced onion in a small amount of bacon fat until soft and lightly golden. 3. Mix the Eggs in a bowl, whisk togethe until fully combined. 4. Place your pie crust into a pie dish. Add: - Cooked bacon - Sautéed onions - Shredded cheese Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top 5. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is just set.(It should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.) Notes - Do not overbake — this keeps the quiche soft and creamy - Easily adaptable — swap bacon for ham, add vegetables, or change the cheese - Great for using up what you already have in the fridge

Spring Chicken
Spring equals chicks and baby animals that's just a given. It's not something created by Cadbury to sell their easter candy, though they help (their so cute). Spring is a time of new beginnings, the buds on the trees, daffodils, pussywillows, and babies. I've filled the incubator with a dozen eggs and we have a hen sitting on a dozen eggs. In the future I'll do a master class on how to incubate eggs. It's on the list sourdough first, but keep you eye out for it if your interested in learning this skill.

Baby chicks are hatching over here and I’ve helped a baby squirrel that mom abandoned her. this is her progress, she’s so stinking cute. I do have some questions I don’t know if anyone would really be able to help. I have one hen that lays on all the girls eggs she’s such a good girl. I let her lay on 6 eggs, three hatched. one piped and didn’t hatch and the other two I waited 29 days and then opened to see what was going on all three that were unsuccessful either looked like possible cyclops or brain matter outside. Would you at that point cull said Rooster? I only have one Rooster. I would hate to do so cus he is my pretty boy but I’m not wanting to make a bachelors run my neighbors probably hate me enough with just one. Idk I hope I’m not coming of sounding cruel or ill minded. Just a %50 deformity seems high, but I’m also learning. So please take my ramblings with a grain of salt. Said Ro with my daughter.

@Megan Noel thank you for the laughs and good advice. I’m going to try and tweak a few things and also incubate myself just to see if any other elements could have been at play just in case because we did have a cold front that came in.
