Hard Time in the Garden







Boy do you pay a price if you do not stay on top of those garden weeds. Yes I should have mulched better....it would help alot. ThursdayI spent two solid hours chopping/hoeing/pulling weeds, all of which the goats dearly loved. I thought it might be interesting to see what I brought in from our little farm that evening. Martin the bottle baby goat wants to be involved in everything now. This will buy him a place in the goat pasture with the rest of the caprine gang very shortly.


Anyway, the Chinese pea pods are still producing but tapering off. The broccoli and cauilfower is still making. The hens continue to do their duty. There were blueberries, a few from these new little bushes, and very sweet. They did not last long enough to be photographed!

As for the violet blossoms, who would have thought potato blooms could be so pretty? Clearly I am enjoying beginner's luck, as my potatoes did not rot in the ground like those of so many more experienced potato growers.
