We're finishing up the peppers.  We've got a few we're trying to keep warm to let them finish.  But most of them have either been pulled or trimmed back.  The lettuces are on a rampage.  They are at several stages, and we have begun a lovely habit of salad at dinner.  Salad that comes from our yard.  LOVE IT!!  The carrots are getting to a pickable size.  YAY!  

The chickens have obliged us by going back to laying 3-4 eggs a day since we added the lamp to the coop.  We let them out around 7am and since the sun's going down before 5pm, we turn on a lamp until 7pm.  When the daylight hours dropped, so did egg production to 2, maybe 3 eggs a day.  That almost made us have to buy eggs, something we haven't had to do since the end of September.  So we gave the birds a lamp.  Now they have some time after the sun goes down to eat and drink before heading to the roost.  And it has helped.  The last few days have been 3 or 4 eggs every day.   Yummy for us!

I took this a few days ago, and found them exactly like this tonight.  Ha!

We had a few carrots pop up near the cabbage.

Field of lettuce. 

Iceburg Lettuce.

These birds love it when my hubby thins the lettuce out.

Hi there!

I noticed a bug on my arm as I was checking in on Sunflower as she was
laying, so out came the powder so everyone could get dusted. 

My question is, what are these things?  Mites or Lice?

I got your back.

They always get the itchy's when i dust them.

Those late grapes are still trying.  The warm week should help, but will it be enough???

Grape leaves are turning.

We still have a ladybug or two hanging around.
