                                          2011 Table at the Jasper Market--my prettiest one ever.
                                          Early Girl tomatoes, Chocolate Cherry tomatoes, Cherokee
                                         Purple tomatoes, and yellow, small spaghetti squash.

April is here and our hens and eggs are doing great.  We are teaching a set of starter hens (that we raised)  how to roost in the hoop houses and also to lay their eggs in the layer-hoop house.  We also have 35 Astrolop chicks, purchased from Murray McMurry, that we are growing out and anticipate that they will start to lay in June.

I have some very loyal customers/friends and am very grateful for their encouragement and support.  For anyone interested, I sell my eggs at the Jasper Farmer's Market in North Georgia every Saturday 8 a.m. until noon.

This is a picture of my two-year-old granddaughter who just loves the new chicks.  She squealed as much as they chirped.


As well as they hens and eggs are doing, I am way behind on my gardening and have just seeded my tomatoes.
