New Additions and the first day of spring!

Happy Spring Everyone!!
I hope everyone has been enjoying the last few days!  It has been fantastic weather.  Spring fever for sure.  Lots going on here at Flying Wytch Farm.  Planning the garden, pig pen, goat pen and adding to the existing stock of chickens we already have.  Meet the new girls of Flying Wytch Farm.



My new favorite store is the Tractor Supply Store.  They have everything you need for a mini farm.. or a large farm for that matter.  We picked up 6 NH Reds and 6 Lace Wynodottes.  They are so cute.    We also picked up blueberry bushes, raspberry bushes and strawberry plants.  Along with 2 new friends for Amy and Joshua.

We now have Pete and Wilbur.. two little ducklings.  A little skittish.  Buty they'll get used to people soon.  Next we'll be looking for 3 - 4 turkeys.  Around Mid April we'll be looking for 2 Pigs.  By then it should be time to plant the garden.   The weather has been so fantastic.  It's almost too good to be true.  70's in the middle of March.  Spring has sprung!

Busy Day Applesauce Cake

Here is a quick and easy recipe when your in a rush but you need an elegant and tasty dessert.  Busy Day Applesauce Cake is just the thing. 

1 box of yellow cake mix
1 C applesauce
1/3 C oil
3 Eggs
1 1/4 tsp ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground Cloves
1/2 tsp ground Nutmeg

In a large bowl combine all ingredients, pour into a greased and floured bundt pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.  Cool in pan.  Turn onto cake plate, dust with powdered sugar. 

serve.

Being busy here on the farm, we don't always have the time to make it from scratch.  We take advantage of the packaged mix.  This is a delicious moist cake that is easy to make but tastes like it took you all day to make.  Your company will never know.

Getting ready to start the tomato and pepper plants.  Temps are supposed to be in the 60's by the end of the week.   Can't wait for spring!!
