planting seeds must truly be one of the greatest acts of hope.
here is a look at my new project flower & bee
a little fluff
Can you even stand how cute these things are? Baby black australorps, arrived in the mail as day old chicks, tucked in the greenhouse, with their heat lamp and brooder, warm and cozy, and oh so fluffy! Don’t you wish you were two inches tall too?
the last bit
I moved the sheep to the last little bit of green grass I could find for them; under the apple trees, around the herb garden. I fenced the herb garden out though I think they could still get a few nibbles-though I don’t really mind. Might even be good for them, if they like it! After this, they’ll just get hay until the spring!
garlic planting
Last year we purchased garlic from Fedco and our friends at Greenspark Farm in Cape Elizabeth, planted it in the fall, and harvested it in July. We hung it to dry in the barn, gave some to CSA members, and saved the rest for seed, which we planted a few days ago.
