To get a copy of my book, "How To Grow Vegetables In Sitka, Alaska" just give me a call....The books are $20 plus tax. If you live out of town and want me to mail you a copy, you can mail a check for $25.60 to:

Wednesday

A big day in terms of duck eggs. 20. 20 eggs. 19 ducks. 20 eggs.... 13 females........ 20 eggs. Apparently the drakes started laying as well as the females? And one of the drakes had two eggs? Connie CLAIMS that she NEVER misses any eggs, so they must have all been laid today, but... I'm pretty sure that's impossible. It's all right, though. She does a great job. Incidentally, 12 of the eggs were conveniently piled together.... I swear we didn't do it. Sometimes they just like to share a nest.
