Spinach, lettuce, dill and laying mash

     In Missouri planted Burpee Black seeded Simpson lettuce in the south 3 feet, what was left of last years FM black seeded Simpson in the SE 1 foot of row.  Next 6 feet FM Bloomsdale long standing Spinach from last year's seed,  Next 5 feet Dill seed saved in 2010.  4 feet at the end of the bed not planted yet.
     Started feeding chickens the new 18% protien3-4% calcium, 0,7% phosphorus laying mash.  Cost $12.50 per 50 pounds.  The old mash cost $11.00/50 lbs and was 16% protein, 3.7-3.9% calcium and 0.45% phosphorus.  Don't see how we can improve on the 7 eggs most days with 8 hens, but we'll see.
