GOOD NEWS AND MORE GOOD NEWS
Good news #1: The temperatures have warmed up significantly so today I planted a mix of lettuces, radishes, kale, and basil in my two raised bed planters. None of these are things I eat – they will be greens for the chickens. Last year I had a partial bed of greens and was able to cut and re-grow all summer long to provide occasional greens for the chickens. I’m hoping two full beds will allow for at least one greens-fest a week for them.
Good news #2: While I was prepping the beds today, I discovered that the worms I put in my beds last year had no trouble surviving the winter and are very active.
Good news #3: Today was my last day of employment. I am now fully retired. Besides continuing to work on finishing my quilt projects, I plan to do an inventory of my pantry, purge the house, and get some of the deferred maintenance done. Everything else I will just have to make up as I go.
It seems there’s been one question my whole life: “What do I want to be when I grow up.” Slipping into retirement is no different; I’m still asking that. I guess we humans just keep reinventing ourselves as we move through life. I’m looking forward to seeing what the next years bring.

Sounds good! I planted onions yesterday. First time ever planting them In March. I’m anxious to see how it goes.

Onions is something I’ve not had the courage to try. I hope you’ll let me know how it goes!

I sure will. I grow onions every year, but I usually don’t plant them until mid April. They are easy to grow, You should try some.
