Chard, peas and romaine!

Finished coop/New Kids

The new 'kids' have a small space and their own door with half the run to themselves. The big 'kids' are completely unnerved about the little noisy intruders but are starting to get used to them.Complete mud hole around the coop, thank goodness for the gravel Walt put down on top of landscape cloth. Soon we'll hear crowing and be in egg business! I have commitments from many for egg sales.

Autumn Redd dawg!

My other partner in the yard or garden. If I am someplace so is she! Great companion dog, though a bit nuts about the ball! Thank goodness for the chuckit! Very attentive and sweet for a Cattledog!

the Garden! 2009

having the right tools!

Yay for the Kabota! Move mountains or so it would seem. Brought in gravel, hauled away the old fencing, brought in compost excetra.

New Chicken coop run

Out with the old and in with the new. Since we have new chicks brooding in the house, we needed to complete the new run to move these smelly critters outdoors. They have feathered out so it is not dangerous to move them into the coop.
We split the run in half length wise and cut in a second door, pic to be posted soon. Also we divided and area inside so they would not be bullied by the old girls. This way they get used to one another. Lots of hard work paying off.

'09 Harvst

We have a vase full of flowers from the garden. Daisies, Peonies, Iris, purple, blue and pink. The fragrance is great! Also we have some lettuce mix and spicy mesclun! Great Taco Salad tonight!

helpful hubby!

Walt helping out in the garden this year. I was so fatigued by the flu, it was good to have help in preparation for planting! It was great to have another strong back and large pair of hands!
