This week saw the failure of our washing machine, refrigerator and the heater element in my electric incubator. The silver lining in this cloud meant that we replaced our old top loading washer with a front loading (much more water efficient) machine. As for the refrigerator, I modified the door, saved $320 and crossed one more gouging appliance dealer off my Christmas list.
Last week's setting of quail eggs had to be discarded when the heater element on the incubator failed but we're hoping that the delay will be short.
We've begun harvesting the 3 week-old lettuce from our NFT system.
