her garden and the chickens

The weather has been unseasonably warm, to warm to pass up planting a garden!  I've never really planted a "cool" weather garden, so I hope it turns out. :)

Lets see ~ I planted red and yellow onions, sugar snap peas, kale, spinach, romaine, turnips, and cabbage.  The bigger boys put my trellis up for the peas, so that is done, the littles covered my rows, and the middle boys brought me load after load of goat poo to fertlize.  Look at all those worms coming out of the poo and into my garden!

We moved the chickens to the big pasture, making the mistake of letting them out to soon...they didn't want to go up when it was evening, but instead ventured back over to where they were before, so the boys had to catch them and put them up.  Now we are waiting a few days and also waiting on the rooster that will be put in with them to watch over them and keep them in line.  Roosters are good at that you know, keeping all the girls together, instead of spreading out all over the place.

This guy loves to seek out and find the mud, no matter what you do or where you put him he will find it.  He loves to squeeze his toes down into it, eat it, touch it.  Our yard is on a bit of a slope and gets all the rain water from the upper field, making it muddy and to where not much grass wants to grow.

Happy almost spring
