Cicks

We decided to raise Buff Orpington chickens, we picked these girls up on May 14th. Our plan (we really don't know what we are doing) is to raise all but 2-4 of them to butcher. They are all pullets so they aren't goring to get real big but we are ok with that. I decide I wanted to go with a heritage breed and from what I read Buff Orpington are good for butchering and laying. I know when it comes to butchering them it will be hard, they are so cute. We found organic feed from so that is  Organic and local and they can free range when they get a little bigger.Should be an adventure, stay posted.

Be the kind of women who, when your feet hit the floor in the morning the devil says oh no, she up.

Mother's Day Weekend

My Asparagus is up!

Worked up the garden, adding sheep manure. Planted the corn, beans, potatoes, carrots, and lettuce have a few more things but a start. We covered them with the row covers to help with the ground temperature.

Gardening Preperations

What a difference a week makes. Easter Sunday we had time to unpack the straw from the blueberry and garlic beds. The Chickens were excited to have new digs.
