Good morning,

Things are shaping up over here, the roses (what roses we have) are blooming and the vegetable plants are getting bigger every day. The other day some friends came over to look at the garden, it's nice to show people our garden. Oh, we sold Charles the only male baby goat we had to a good home.

MAY 28Boy, our strawberries are producing wonderfully, the only thing different we would do next year is mulch them with straw. As I said before, our plants are growing bigger and of course the weeds seem to be growing twice has big.   It's too wet in the garden to do much, but wait for it to dry up a little.  Every time is starts drying, it rains again.  Oh well, rain is good.  Right now we're waiting for our field to be hayed (usually happens around Memorial Day).  Mom is waiting for me to finish typing so we can put up trellis netting for the staking of our beans.  It is getting really hot in the afternoons, so we need to do most of our gardening  work in the mornings.  My Rhode Island Red chickens are growing - hopefully we'll  get some eggs in a couple of months.

See you later,
Bluebird

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
