I love filling up a basket with fresh produce I grew my self, from seed! The smell of fresh cilantro is hypnotic and the crispness of lettuce from the garden is unmatched! I can’t wait for what this year has in store for me! #growyourowngarden #homesteading #eggs #harvest

These little four week old chicks love to have a dust bath in the sun! It’s the cutest thing! 🐣 #chicken #Lemon8Diary #homesteading #farmlife

The little fluffy butts are out and drying off! This experience has been incredible, from start to finish. #chicks #cute farm animals #homesteading #farm

I got the pleasure of watching the first baby chick emerge from their egg last night before I went to bed. This morning when I woke up there was 4 and through out the day 2 more have joined the crew. There are still 6 eggs left to hatch and I’m just so ecstatic that everything so far has gone so we

Our first chicky babe is starting to hatch! If you could have heard my squeal of excitement when I found this little one starting to break the egg! Chicks have 21 day hatching cycle, and today is day 20 so this little one is an ambitious type. 🐣🐥 #homesteading #chicken #hatchday #farmfresh

3 days till hatch day!! The anticipation is killing me. The brooder is all ready for their arrival. For now we wait and we watch closely! 🐣🐥 #chicken #homesteading #hatchday #Lemon8Diary

The California sunshine is in full affect already. Sadly in my area we only got about 5 days of rain in the cool season but enough to keep the flowers alive! #garden #flowers #rain #homesteading

I know, I need to pull some weeds, probably fertilize, and that little potted cactus needs to be picked up, but for now I’ll just water. 💦 #garden #gardening #broccoli #cabbage

We’ll have babies very soon!! Taking care of the incubator these past few weeks has been fun. The anticipation is killing me! I can’t wait to take care of these baby chicks outside of their eggs! If you want to see these little cuties when they hatch give me a follow! ❤️🐣🐥🐓 #homesteading #chick

Missing sunny spring days in the garden! #garden #spring #harvest #Lemon8Diary

I miss having baby chicks. Good thing I’ve got my first batch of babies due to hatch next Thursday!! Couldn’t be more excited! #homesteading #babychicks #chickensoflemon8

I’m exciting to get my little garden into shape for the spring. My garden goals are to stop trying to grow all the weird, funky, fun seeds and focus on the production of the things my family actually likes to eat! #gardenseason #gardengirlie #gardenlife #homestead
