Hey folks! The piddling around the
farm continues until we're fairly certain the crazy Indiana weather
is going to stop messing with us. It is back down in the 20's and
30's (brr!) again the weekend I'm writing this, but we were lucky to
take advantage of the warm weather some before it cooled off again.
It's supposed to be back in the upper 40's tomorrow, so we'll be
working on one of the pig fences, but more on that in next week's
post!
Since, for whatever reason, we didn't
have Bruce's first garden area fenced off as big as we planned on
making it this year, I decided we could just stick him in the “baby
pen” to finish the job. Since it was so nice out one Wednesday and
we were already doing some other stuff outside, I decided to go ahead
and get started. He was easy enough to move in it. He plodded right
along and didn't put up a fight or anything. Plus, he went nuts over
all the green stuff since his new semi-permanent area is pretty
lacking and mostly covered in vines. The pictures above are what he
accomplished in just a little over an hour!
We spread some wheat, clover, and pea
seeds around, but John wanted to plant some in the garden too to make
sure we actually had some that made it. We didn't do any clover here,
but we did plant some of the winter peas and red wheat berries. This
will be part of the chickens' food!
Not very exciting, but I finally
turned over the compost pile. I really need to get better about
making sure it's equal and, ya know, turning it more often. Yes,
those are daffodils popping up. They are kind of the bane of my
existence right now. Don't get me wrong: I love flowers as much as
the next person, but they are EVERYWHERE...Mostly places I don't want
them! At least they don't last long?
Have you guys been able to do any
gardening or planting yet? Don't forget to come back next week for
(hopefully, if everything falls into place) an exciting update!
