What did you do in the garden today?

I bought some morel mushrooms yesterday and had some fried for lunch. Sadly I am not up to long walks in the woods. I see one mum from seed is sprouted. I was about to give up on those seeds. I hope we are done on frost now.

I miss morels. Best mushroom out there for frying.

I am literally making Dutch oven sourdough right now. It's the best.

My last loaf. My bestie and I share bread photos lol.

Beautiful rise on that sourdough!

Anyone motivated to try their hand at sourdough, go to the baking thread (Any Home Bakers Here?) and let it be known you are interested. Our resident sourdough expert, @ronott1, will gladly send you a dried starter with instructions. Most of us over there are baking with his starter and loving it. He will also send you the history of his starter.

Trying to take it a little easier today. I noticed the wind blowing the cover on the peach tree around so I removed it. Except cor the buds and blooms that were knocked off by the cover the tree has seemed to do well through last night’s freeze. One more night of frost before warmer temps move in. There are a lot of open blossoms and unopened buds that should provide a good harvest. I watered the sugar snap peas that are emerging along with the asparagus, kale and radishes. Since I ran my errands earlier today I should be able to get back to working on the old chicken coop cleaning and repairs tomorrow. There are enough pea plants up so I can plant the lettuce starts between the rows.

I forgot to post these pictures I took after removing the cover.

Morels!

I *think* most of the blueberries and cherry blossoms are ok...

One more night to cover them. For the foreseeable future, anyway.

I finished the chicks' upgrade today.

Welcome to The Mini Coop:

(I did put something under the power strip so it isn't dangling.)
Upon finally moving in, the chicks immediately tested out their wings, and then the roosting bars! They then picked a spot in the back corner to scratch around. I think they are much happier!
