They're Alive! Also, A Chicken Coop On The Rise.

Old seeds do grow!  The brussel sprouts and broccoli are well on their way.  I thinned them out a bit after the photo below was taken.  I wanted just one start in each starter container.  The grow light is still positioned above the starts but yesterday I added one of our old heat lamps that we'd once used when we had baby chicks.  It's so cold in our garage right now and that's where our starts are located for the time being.

 In addition to winter container gardening we were able to finally start building our chicken coop yesterday!  When we first moved to this property we unfortunately found that bobcats are quite abundant in this area, as one quickly picked off all of our chickens while we were away on our honeymoon.  Now we're building a proper coop and chicken run (with a roof this time) with lumber from our cedar trees here on the property.  Kenn has spent months cutting down trees and milling lumber, using his alaska mill, for the coop.
