Things are going slow, coz the temp is still going low. We had a big snow on Tuesday that covered everything in white. A little more seedlings were done and Lijen almost finished pruning his fig trees. Figs don't bear fruits on the last year's branches, so extensive pruning must be done in early spring (Pruning in the middle of the winter might be harmful to the plant, and pruning well into the spring takes off new growth--> energy wasted). These fig trees look like amputated victims…but space and efficiency need to be maintained even if it means costing an arm and a leg (multiple arms and legs actually, of poor figs)
What do you think these are? Lemon zests? They are actually thinly cut strips of ultra thin omelets. Our hens lay eggs that make into omelets of such striking shade of yellow! That's because our hens eat grass, and the carotene in the grass gives egg yolks the bright yellow color! If you ever see eggs from chickens that only eat chicken feeds, you know how pale those eggs are compare to this beauty.
