Scout started off the season by eating a belly full of peas everyday (this I especially loved because I remember eating peas out of grammies garden when I was little). Now she says "stawber" because the berries are ripening each day. We found this old fire pit at the dump, filled it with compost from the horses and then added stawberry plants that we bought last year at a church yard sale. They love their new home and are blooming like crazy! What is better then eating fresh, organic food right from your own garden!
This week we have been planting our fall crops. Scout likes to help, of course, and takes her seeds and tosses them into the beds.
These are our new chickens. They are Sussex lights. We wanted to add a few new ones before winter since we have lost several since last year. They aren't expected to lay for about anonther 6 weeks. They are making themselves right at home and the others have excepted them without incedent. All the books say that you can't add new chickens because they will fight. I think it is because ours are freeranging, lots of space, lots to forage and they are very happy.
very pretty chickens! I tend to stay away from white ones cuz of the many hawks that fly overhead at our place.
