Trays and rows of peach babies are all popping up, remember to plant the tail side down when potting them up, i have held them as long as i could and i have them on a 10 on and 14 hours off as i am working hard to limit their growth due to how early in the year it is, once they all get potted up into their own pots, they are going to be taking up a huge amount of room and right now i am just using the air movement from the furnace but will add in a fan soon enough. 

I am thrilled that last year more then a two dozen plus hard fruit trees came into production in the combined food forests, while everything will not be in full force until another three to five years, there will be peaches!  Local fall fresh peaches indeed! 

Our Little Miss Fancy turned one year old 

Its crazy how fast time is moving the Big Boys are coming five and they are very much who they will be for the rest of their lives.  Fancy is turning out to be a excellent small farm dog and the cold does not seem to be a issue with her at all, she is very determined that she must come out and do chores. 

We are in the middle of a cold snap in our neck of the woods, it a deep wide spread cold and i know that a lot of folks are current hunkered down? How is your temps at the moment, be it winter or summer in your neck of the woods?

I am dreaming and craving fresh veggies from the garden, that joy of heading out with bowls to pick things to be brought in and used moments later

Seed Displays are arriving in the local big greenhouses and seed catalogs have all arrived to the house, a few things to get yet but mostly we are good, having ordered in most of my seeds before the new year even came. 

If you are looking to buy locally, Seedy Saturdays will be coming over the next few months all over the place, but at least locally here, all the Seed Displays are from Canadian Seed Houses.  

I expect that we will see a lot of folks growing more or adding in a few extra food plants or garden box this year, a very good choice indeed.
