Hurts so good.

I planted broccoli plants out today and two kinds of carrots...both heirloom varieties...touchon or something like that and atomic red. I also raked one of the other raised beds smooth so it is ready to plant in the next few days (if it doesn't rain) and I still have 1.5 beds to level. My poor hands are dry, cracked, stained and bleeding. My back is killing me and I'm asleep on my feet. I love spring.
Chickens were out all day having fun in the sun. They are loving their new run and house.
Started outlining a new perennial bed the other day. I bought an edger from the tractor supply store. Things are really shaping up around here. I've got volunteer aquilegia everywhere.
