We've started gardening with B's Aunt and Uncle on a much bigger scale, become involved in our local farm market, and I started my own business where I make all natural pet foods and treats called Blue Moon Barkery.
Last night we planted almost 500 seeds to start for our family garden, in addition to the 72 cabbage and broccoli sprouts currently in residence on my kitchen table!
Today we started an endeavor that is completely, 100% new to me - chickens! We purchased 6 Isa Brown pullets that are approximately 6 weeks old. They are supposed to be great "first time" chickens, that lay up to 300 eggs per year and begin laying at 16 weeks. While we are waiting for our coop to arrive, they have taken up residence in Bella Dog's old crate in our shed. I've wanted a few hens for a long time, and B must have gotten tired of my needling, because he finally said yes!
Despite the current muddy and wet conditions, I couldn't be happier that Spring has finally decided to arrive. We will be harvesting some American Chinchilla kits soon, so look for pictures and our sausage recipe.
Have a wonderful day, and go plant something!
