It’s the first day of Spring today, and we have been working really hard in the gardens for the past few weeks. We decided to expand our garden from last year by adding a HUGE garden in another area of our property. So we will have two gardens this year, plus my herb garden. So far we have planted beets, arugula, spinach, peas, cabbage, broccoli, kale and various other lettuces. Don has also started TONS of pepper plants indoors and our tomato plants have been started indoors as well. I just went to the deep freeze today and realized that we will probably run out of tomato products before our new tomatoes arrive. It’s always a very long wait for fresh tomatoes each year.
Here are some pictures of Don and Emma working in the garden yesterday. We were planting cabbage.
We traded computer work from Don on a neighbors computer that he got for them for a dump truck load of their manure. We are very excited to have all the manure this year. Does anyone else get this excited about poo??
And here are some pictures of two of my two favorite hens. The first one is a Jersey Giant hen and the other one is a Salmon Favarelle.
Two of our young roosters that we hatched out:
We didn’t think the one on the left was going to make it after he was born, but we took good care of him and he pulled through, and now is beautiful and healthy as can be.
Still no baby goats yet, and I am concerned that she may not even be pregnant. We’ll see what happens in the next few days.
