After sending Oscar off to get a haircut today, I turned my attention to the greens garden and gave it a haircut too. The chickens of course approved! This is the second haircut of the week for this bed. The other bed was trimmed… Continue Reading “HAIRCUTS MAKE HAPPY CHICKENS”
How exciting Spring is! The greens I planted started poking through within 4 days. Now, they are well-established, and I will have to do some thinning soon. Not only that but the apple trees, elderberry bushes, and fig all have leaves on them. I… Continue Reading “WHAT A DIFFERENCE A WEEK MAKES”
