Another beautiful Spring day here in my backyard. I will need to quickly get my inside jobs done so I can get out there and do my half hour. A half hour stint usually turns into way longer just pottering about but it's so good for the soul, the mind, the whole body health thing. I'm so pleased that the weather is now nice enough to be outside most of the day.
A couple of weeks ago a daughter helped me with getting a pile of seedlings planted, looks like I will have more Kale than I know what to do with! All the seedlings are growing great but the seeds that I planted, not doing too well at all. For once I was going to do the plant some now, plant some later thing so as not to end up with too much of one thing at the same time. Looks like I am just 2 weeks behind with the growing though as most haven't even emerged.
I tried carrots, again. Even covered them to keep them moist until they started, still nothing. Corn that should have been poking it's head up last week, nope, not even a bit of dirt pushed out of the way. Lettuce seeds, again, can't see any where I sprinkled them but the self-sown ones are coming up in a few places so they will keep us going for a bit. I will get more of everything in this week and see how that lot does. Even the Luffa seeds haven't come up and they are usually pretty reliable.
Chooks are laying. I have more than 10 doz eggs in the fridge now so will take some down to Vinnies later and see if any of the vollies want some. In the meantime, eggs for breakfast but there is only so many eggs 1 person can eat. Husband is home tonight so he will get a couple with his tea. But 2 eggs from all the dozens we have...Hmmm, if my maths is right we'll still have lots left!
I have started riding the pushbike again, will go for a ride before breakfast then will start the daily list.

You are correct--two eggs from ten dozen is not going to lessen the number enough. With that many eggs you could sell them. Home eggs go for $4/dozen at markets here.
