[Ag-eq] new chicks

Tracy:

I've almost forgotten what snow looks like!

A few weeks ago we had a hail storm here and everyone kept talking about the
snow; I just had to laugh.  I stopped trying to tell them that it was hale.

How is your cold frame built?

I've been thinking about building one to start seeds in.
