Spring has sprung


Despite the still cold temperatures, sometimes in the low thirties, we have already begun feasting on goodies from the garden. The "girls" are now literally cooped up, otherwise we'd have a moonscape instead of a garden. They are voracious eaters and are drawn to anything green, or red. I supplement their diet with lots of leafy green trimmings gleaned from a local green grocer and they get a little bit of raw meat. I think they'd prefer to be out and about, but . . . too bad! As our farmer friend once said, "Have you seen the size of their brains?!"
