If you haven’t heard already, the USDA realeased a new updated plant hardiness grow zone map! We remained as 9B in Mount Dora but much of the Orlando area and Polk County are now considered 10A while some areas near Ocala are now considered 9B. Take a look πŸ‘€

Egg-citing fact: Ever wonder why chicken eggs come in different colors? πŸ₯šπŸŒˆ It’s not just a "yolk"! It's all in the hen's genetics. White Leghorns lay white eggs, Orpingtons lay brown eggs, and Ameraucanas lay blue, and some even lay olive-green eggs! πŸ”βœ¨ Want to guess what color an egg will be? Check out the chicken's earlobes - yes, really! White lobes = white eggs. πŸ“

Eggshell colors come from pigments deposited during egg formation, and sometimes speckles are just extra calcium deposits. 🐣

But here's the cluck-worthy part: all eggs taste the same, no matter their shell color! 🍳 And remember, the yolk's color depends on the hen's diet, not the eggshell. So, you can enjoy your eggs sunny side up, no matter the shade! 🍳🌈
