Wow you are really getting this gardening thing going. I planted beans a week or so again but it's been way too cool for them to sprout. And I would have to wear hip waders to get in the garden. We still have water sitting every where from the rains. So my garden is going to weeds. We can't get our little tiller working so it needs to go to the shop. It was a very expensive one and is still under warranty. We have to take it back to Emporia for service. It's all a matter of time to get it done. My friend gave me some broccoli plants he started so I hope to get them planted soon.It is chilly and windy out there today so I haven't gotten a thing done in the garden and I'm wondering if I will. DH is out tilling an unplanted section. What I really need to do is put some wheels on my brooder pen so I can roll those birds outside once they are big enough to do without heat, but I am lacking any motivation at all.
Yesterday I sprayed all that has been planted with compost tea, including all the grape vines leafing out around the pool. I can't believe it but I have some purple Thai beans coming up already. That was a surprise because I knew I planted them too early but I have plenty of seed so I thought I would try it anyway. You can use them for green beans or pole beans. The older 3 girls planted 7 earthboxes with carrots and radishes, so that was nice of them. I still have a 4' x 16' bed that needs to have more strawberries transplanted into it. I have one more of that same size ready for fill dirt and (3) 4' x 8' that also need fill dirt. I am so glad to have the boxes but I certainly didn't expect this many!
In the meantime, the chickens are keeping the orchard completely weed free for me. We put a lot of wood chips out there and they love digging through and pulling up any shoots. I am so glad I changed their fence to include the orchard. So far no damage to the fruit trees and I am hoping they will keep the bug population down.
I wanted to be sure I knew which eggs were coming from my Aloha, so we put blue food coloring on her vent. Worked great! The egg came out with some blue streaks. Alohachickens recommended this method so I thought I would just pass along this tip. The kids put the food coloring back in the kitchen cabinet.I don't recommend storing any dye used on a chicken's arse in the kitchen cabinet. LOL!![]()

Deerfield, my chinese friend was showing us the other day how he trims out the center of his fruit trees and leaves the outside limbs so it gets more sunshine. He had a three year old peach with peaches forming by the hundreds on every limb and it's a small tree. I was very impressed. I plan to use his method if I ever get new trees. The exception is pear trees he said because of their growth habits. He has the most amazing garden. Everything is two foot high and perfect. He uses all his Chinese knowledge and starts all his own plants and works very hard. He says it's great because I give him all the chicken poop to make it grown. I know better. I would have to give up all my birds and gain a lot of energy to do all that work. His roll is very defined. His wife does house things. He does all the yard work, gardening, and most of the cooking. They only have a small town lot but he tends to use every inch of it to his advantage. He produces almost all the food they eat other than meat and eggs. Plus of course he works a full time job as well. You have to admire that kind of dedication. I couldn't get DH to even till the garden for me. If we have a garden he doesn't even notice.
Hey, Ashley! I know you!!I was wondering if anyone near Hutch has any barred rock chicks, few days old? I am just hoping for one to add to my existing new babies. (30-45 minutes away possibly)
