Well we have entered into the realm of chicken farmers now! we picked up six baby chicks at Tractor Supply last Sunday. they were 2 weeks old, they are a cross between production red and white leghorn and though it's a little early to tell it looks like they'll be white. we have been having lots of fun with them this week. I have downloaded some pictures of them. we will be getting 6 more next Saturday from poultry hollow here in East Tennessee. they will be two production red two white Sussex and 2 of another breed I can't remember right now.
Hoping to get some planting done next week. it's been really cold with temperatures in the teens last night.

Dealing with winter
Well it looks like winter is upon us again here in the northern part of Tennessee we can never tell what the weather to be like in two days the weather will change again according to the weatherman is supposed to get up around 69° and that just makes for more confusion for our honeybees who don't know which way is up which way is down when it comes to the end of winter so we'll just move on from there. We just completed the installation of a tankless water heater in her home that was quite the project but now that it's over I can turn my focus to the farm we just ordered three new packages of honeybees to be installed the spring and a bunch of new equipment as well so there's lots of preparation to prepare for and that's not including the lavender plants work work work. For now where an emergency feeding for our honeybees with a solution of 2 to 1 we will drop to a solution of 1.1 that will continue for 2 to 3 weeks. Of course now I got a bunch plants on the order from fruit trees to herbal plants. Working on a new line of products all made from raw honey is will be facial care products as well as a hair rinse I came across these ingredients from the national honey I think he'll be a great opportunity to introduce people to the wonders of honey. We're continuing to make soap for the upcoming year so we encourage everyone to take advantage of the discount offers on our website on all our products as we continue to clear out Lasher's product to make way for New Year's so take a second look at WWW.blooms-N-BEES.com.
