Cloudy and cold this morning. So when the sun finally came out in late afternoon, I headed out, basket in hand. First threw out some cracked corn for the 3 mallards that are stopping by for lunch these days.
Picked a mess of beets and greens, a huge turnip and yellow zuks. I also picked flowers for the flower gallery.
Checked the bee hive and the jar of mega-bee food was nearly empty. Back inside to brew up another batch. While it cooled
Out again to the hive. After turning off the electric fence, I put the new jar of food into the top of the hive.
Continued on from the end of the meadow onto the Fern Trail. It is getting overgrown, especially with Salmon Berries, so need to take the clipper next time.
Came back into the meadow by the wood piles that Carl has split, from the trees that blew down during the winter.
Just finished eating mashed turnips with butter and salt. The turnip greens are steaming now. Putting the steamed beet greens in the freezer, but going to eat the beets over the next few day…A beet a day for the liver 😉
Flowers still in the sink waiting for their vases.
Picasa has several more pictures of the walk-about
