Do you grow?/Walk with me ~ Grow Tent, Chickens and the Flu!

Is this a #doyougrow or a #walkwithme blog? The flu has hit our house and I am a #hotmess today, so it's both haha!! It was a day of taking care of humans, chickens and plants!

My poor girl is so sick today. I am hoping this fire cider keeps me from getting it!! Fingers crossed!

Quick batch of overnight oatmeal for the week....blueberry coconut today!

The chickens have started laying more than 3 eggs a day finally! As a reward and for some extra protein, I scrambled them along with spices and oatmeal to give them as a treat.

Eggs, oats, cinnamon, garlic, cayanne and oregano. Looks gross but the flock will love it!

Everyone but the new kids hanging out on the grass...I dropped one dish of treats off here....

And the other in the run for the new girls who aren't quite in with the rest of them yet. Poor girls

Until Reba notices they have treats....

Woah now! Everyone step back, Mr. Hendrix has to check this first to make sure it's safe!

Alright fluffy butts. It is safe. Now that the old crew is finished theirs they are moving in on the newbie's....not cool guys!

This is the cool new place to lay eggs these days. Check out that line up😉

It is raining out here now....crazy winter weather! No outside fun today so back inside to the sick kid and my plants.

I stole this spider plant baby from a huge plant at the post office. Going to plant it after it recovers from being in my pocket overnight.

Down to the growroom. The forecast for the next 2 weeks has no snow....this has me dreaming of spring! That means more seeds need starting very soon. I need these seeds to hurry and sprout so I can plant up and start another round. Since I don't have enough space or domes to keep seeding I do rounds of starts 2 or 3 weeks apart.

My seed starting tent. There are 2 heat mats in here, but the whole tent is kept warm so all the trays build humidity and unless zero light is required for germination, all seeds start in here.

There are still 3 shelves I can put up in these 2 sets of shelves, I will add them as soon as I need the room.

This shelf with the LED lights I use for the trays that have some sprouted so they don't get leggy on me. When seed starting is done and everything is in "veg stage" just growing until the spring, this tent and the rest of the room will be lit up with bigger versions of these.

Stuff is still coming along very slowly. I had a poor germination rate with some hot peppers (they were older seed, I kind of expected it) so I planted them up in order to start some new ones.

These 3 I threw in pots one week ago. See the difference in size between them and the ones left in the small cells? They really take off when the roots get more room....

The smaller ones were potted today. They spent one extra week in the starting tray.

I also pulled one rhubarb to check on the roots and repotted it. The roots have room so I will leave the rest of them in for a few more days.

This is a quick makeshift light area under the main table. I have a fan going on these peppers and rhubarb. The first 36 4" pots ready to grow there for the next month or so!

I potted my first round of CBD clones grown in the hydro bucket up into soil 5 days ago. These are the roots now....

The sweet potato is rocking along. Check out that perfect leaf....

She has 4 vines started now.

Some new stuff showed up....here is some baby Lemon Balm and Summer Savory!! So cute!

These are heirloom mini sweet mixed peppers...they are dwarf pepper plants but they yeild dozens of peppers at a time, so I am doubling them this year.

This is them from last year...how adorable are these peppers??

Some eggplants almost at the true leaf stage

And some sage starting to look like sage!

The next couple of #doyougrows will cover transplanting, nutrients and the hydro system. I am working on all 3 currently!!

Oh! Now this is cool....found this little solitary wasp or bee mud house inside a starting cell tray. It is really well built lol!!

Can you spot it?

Zoomed in and you can see inside the rooms!

So cool!

That is it for now, friends. I have to stay near my poor sick girl now....fingers crossed I don't get it too you guys!!!!
