Hello followers!  this week has been fairly quite here.  Elsie, my youngest started crawling and my wife is looking great as always!  We took a little break from farm and work life to go kite flying! My four year old is a rock star at that!  I purchased my Mother earth news fair ticket.  I also started my farming cost spreadsheet, I want to track everything from costs to rise animals to how well seeds did, and what varieties I planted. Lets see how everything else is doing: 

Veggies:

With the asparagus coming up last week I decided it was time to weed the bed, and I spent a good part of the evening after work Friday  weeding and getting the bed ready for mulch, hopefully that will be next weeks project.   it rained buckets this week, so my garden is under 3 inches of water again, I am thinking about just growing lily pads and frogs. As for my seedlings they are sitting in the room still, one of my squash plants has a bud that is about to bloom on it, that is not good.  and I picked up a few more herb plants to go with the ones I have started growing.

Fruits

I weeded the raspberries this weekend and planted three more rows!  besides weeds and rocks this is the only thing that seems to grow no matter how much I ignore them.

Animals

So my hens have been acting weird the last few days.  At night they come outside instead of going in to roost.  all day they are in and out of the hen house.  then come night time and all the hens come out and sleep in a pile outside.  They are odd.

As for the goats, they are good, we currently have 4.  A pregnant 5 year old, a milking, open, 3 year old, a dry yearling, and a weather.

Housing

Inside the house I partially cleaning the basement by tossing things into the tag sale pile or right into the trash.  I have been looking at everything we have here and I am wondering how we will manage to move all of this stuff so far.

Moving

Speaking of moves, we are still working on finding the right place and saving up for the move.  But we did create a strategy plan and we are working from there.

Well readers it is that time.  Remember you don't truly know how fresh something is until you grow it in your yard so, until next Sunday, go out and plant something!
