Spring gardening  Peas: Do not add fertilizer to peas they get their nitrogen from the air.  Put them in well drained soil.
Radishes:  Add fertilizer with seed organic preferred, as they develop very quickly.
Spinach: I side dress with dried blood great nitrogen.

Last year we began raising ducks for fun and eggs.  We were given 3 Pomeranian Geese. The female,  could be "Mother Goose" for sure.  We had to fight her for her eggs. The are good tasting and great for baking, both duck and goose. I also was able to sell some blown out goose eggs to help cover the cost of food.  we now have 6 baby geese is it goslings??  and 9 baby ducks.  We incubated them, our first time by building a homemade incubator.  It was a wonderful experience.  Well mother  goose has just taken over, it is fun to watch.  We are using the straw from their house in our garden and hoping it will naturally improve it.  Will let you know.

More later and will add pictures.
