Harold went to a new home today. He is going to be free ranging with some hens in a much bigger pasture. We've had two incidents that make me think he would be better off somewhere else, both involving him flying into the side of the run.
He will panic at random times (I think?) and slam at...
Actually, Leia and Rocco took herding lessons when they were young! They worked ducks, but Leia was too intense for ducks (despite being less than 5 pounds) so she was put on the mildest, sweetest sheep. She loved ordering the sheep around, and the sheep didn't seem to care. They listened very...
My husband gave me the amkuska equivalent of a giant bouquet of roses today. I spent all day outside in the front yard working on the side garden, so I didn't see him working on a raised garden bed in my backyard.
This particular bed doesn't seem to be doing well. What ever I plant in it always...

Fall garlic is coming up big. I have some spring garlic too
Today was fantastic! My daughter was invited to a birthday party. We're friends with the whole family but they moved so we don't see them often. My son is good friends with the older brother in the family, so he came too and they had a great time. The older boy is also a gardener, and the new...
It was a nice day out today so I spent a long time outside. Got the pea garden set and the back garden weeded, fertilized and ready to go. My daughter had an early release so we invited her friend over. They spent most of the day outside playing and enjoying the sun too.
It is very evident that...
Wow, guess I haven't updated this in a while!
Things are going good in the garden. The cold season crops are straining to get out of their cups, so I put them out to harden off. The plants were so much happier outside that after just a couple of days I let them stay outdoors. I guess they...
I bought a strawberry plant, the kind that is in a bag, in a box. My raspberry plant and blueberry plant came with a stem sticking out the top of the bag. The strawberry did not. When I opened it, I found it roots up, plant down, and the green part of it was rotted. Is it still salvageable? If I...
I made my husband and I chair covers for our desk chairs today too. Mine is really ratty, but still rolls good. My husband's is brand new, and he wants to keep it nice. A chair cover for each solved both problems!
My first time making my own pattern too.
