 Hello- it’s Blue Bird here.
Mom says that it is going to rain for the next four days. Rain is good for the garden but to much rain is not. We have ‘de-horned’ the rest of the baby goats, I know dehorning doesn’t sound pretty, but it needs to be done – so our goats won’t get stuck in the fence or hurt each other when playing (especially when their udders get full in the future) . We also have started milking two out of the three goats and will soon be milking the third. Oh and when I say “we” I mean my older sister. I finally let my baby chicks outside permanently.
In the garden, Mom planted and mulched two whole rows of tomatoes, plus two whole rows of peppers, while I worked up two rows for my flowers. One of my rows is all sunflowers and the other perennial plants. As you can see not much is going on except the grunt work: WEEDING, making rows, planting what needs to be planted and milking what needs to be milked.
It rained really hard Saturday and Sunday (May 1 & 2nd) – so I’ll update you on how our garden has fared after I have taken my daily garden walk to inspect.
