to start off


All of this season's planting is almost done and we have had some lovely rain for the past several days. The moisture this time of year is pretty strange, but i'm not complaining and neither are all of the new sprouts in the garden. Its still cool and cloudy today and i've been feeling crappy as in I've had some kind of flu-like bug that is just now starting to die off. All of the fruit trees we planted this spring are doing well though, and the dogs seem extra playful today. They all got worm removal liquid and new raw hide bones this morning. Shevy is planting more stuff today, a forest of giant black dye sunflowers, morning glories, a ton of calendula and some buttercup winter squash. We're already able to harvest some spinach and baby kale.
Important lesson :
Don't name your chickens after ancient warlords, it makes them cranky and mean. Gangis looks like hell and Attila the Hen never shuts up and is always starting shit. They're both still laying well thou

  1. Ancient Warlords...mmm, yes, like Little Deer telling Squishy cat, Queen of the Underworld, that she was an Empress when she was a mere kitten?

  2. P.S. I'm glad you're getting rain. Also, are the hills alive with the sound of cheese?

  3. Indeed they are, why else would Sparki be prancing around like a unicorn.
