Puddle Ducks

With spring coming and snow melting comes mud and mud puddles. Our ducks have been loving the puddles. They are quite cute as they run around to all the puddles!



Our Hoophouse

We are so excited to have a hoophouse this year for growing vegetables in! We put it up about ten days ago. As you can see from the pictures there was still quite a bit of snow left then, now it is mostly gone. We have some lettuce plants and Chinese cabbage plants growing in there now. Later in the spring we will be putting in tomatoes and cucumbers. We think having the hoophouse will be a big advantage to us this year.

Putting up the hoops

All up and ready to go

Preparing the ground

About a week later, most of the snow is gone now
