Nothing Like Instant Gratification

Those who know me will tell you that I struggle a lot with impatience. I like to have a plan, complete the plan, and see the results. I really don't like having to wait for things.

Now, that fabulous quaility of mine doesn't exactly fit well with growing things.

You have to wait.


And wait.


And then wait a little bit more.


However - I found the answer! On Saturday, I started my seeds off in a jiffy tray, and prepared myself to ignore them.

What I wasn't expecting was this:

Talk about instant gratification - sprouts after 4 days.


Yeah, yeah, I'm easily pleased.

Spring is here!

The flowers are finally starting to come up around the farm, and a real sense of spring is in the air!

The Deer are shedding their coats - Bowie is the only one left with antlers

Pretty soon they'll be fawns a plenty - but for now, our newest arrivals are six little chicks - still in the incubator, but thriving :)

As soon as they're a little bigger I'll take them out so you can fully appreciate the cuteness.

We're just about getting ready to plow the gardens for the season - all the Christmas trees got fertilised this past week, and it's looking to be an amazing season on Fisher Farms.
