Lowered the temperature to 85° today.  The chicks are at the half way point now another 3 weeks and they should be good to go to the coop.  They have more than doubled in size.  Still no sign as to which one is the rooster. They seem to be doing really well. I am pleased.

The snow is almost completely gone now.  The raised beds are ready for planting.  The Walla Walla onion sets arrived late last week, on Sunday I planted the fifty bulbs.  Hopefully this weekend I can direct sow snap pea, beet, spinach and radish seeds.  The raised beds drain well and are ready to work.

The chicks are doing well, will have more on them on Wednesday.  Coming up on two weeks.

The weather yesterday and today has been very nice.  Sun was out and it was warm (for us).  The tomato plants are doing ok.  Will have pictures later this week.

We caught a couple of inches of snow last night, most of it has melted as Spring Snow Showers do.  The weekend is looking better we will hit the mid 50’s. 

Will keep you updated on the welfare of the chicks.
