You’re right about the prices going up. One of Beau’s good friends is a dairy farmer and he took a half-dozen
‘unfinished’ beef steers to market and got over $3K for them all!
I know Beau paid about $300 for Chuck (who goes to ‘The Spa’ on the 14th of March) but he did ‘all the maths’ associated with feeding him (which was mostly pasture this season) and we’ll still be about $3.00/pound including processing when he returns from ‘The Spa’ in nicely wrapped freezer packages. ;)
Hurray! Hurray! It’s Pepper Starting Day!

I decided to start 16; will keep 10 and give the others to my Food Pantry which gives away extra garden plants in the Spring. I grew WAY too many last season, so I’m cutting back a bit this year.
I will purchase a Jalapeno plant from Walmart. The variety they had last season (Bonnie Plants) was beyond productive for me and one is plenty for my needs for use in (Medium) Salsa and Bloody Mary Mix.
You’ve got me licking my chops over your wealth of beef! I would need a new freezer to hold all that meat, but it sure would be good eating!
I just noticed that there is one daffodil bloom at the new house - yay!!
I also just noticed a large piece of siding has blown loose & is flapping in the wind - boo! I have the loose end tied to the 2nd story balcony column so it’s no longer blowing back & forth & ripping loose even more. I’ve got ‘feelers’ out for someone who can fix it.
