Well it is the first day of February and things have been getting busy. In front of our patio doors we have our plant stands up and have planted an assortment of bell peppers, hot peppers, celery and some starter tomatoes. We are lucky enough to have the wood stove almost directly beside the patio doors so at night our little seedlings are getting enough heat to grow! At the same time we have been outside trying to get things done for spring, but with these cold wind chill temperatures not too much is being accomplished. We had a warmer day this past Thursday so my hubby decided to head out to the bush and bring a few dead fallen trees back in order to make it thru till spring, so later today we will be cutting and splitting it all.
Our ewe Cinnamon is doing very well and her baby Caramel is up and running just like one of the children. I have to admit I was a bit worried with the cold snaps this winter that our little Caramel might not make it but everything is going well! Our piglets are growing and we have now noticed that we have two male piglets, not one. So now we only have five gilts but that is okay, we will only be keeping the one male for breading so come March or April we will be making our way to the abattoir with our second male pig to get some rather yummy bacon!
