Oh my what a wet day! Just a hair under an inch collected in my rain gage over the past 24 hours... Whew. The poor horses were soaked to the bone and shivering at 7 this morning.
My little mixed flock is now in the new coop and run, that I built over the past three days. "Well I didn't build the coop in three days, that took 4 days by itself." I think they are all a little bit mad at me. This is the first time that this flock has ever been locked up.
I figured I would keep them locked in for a few days, and then let them out to range. My poor lil roo must be really unhappy, I havn't heard him crow once today.
I will eventually post some photos of the new set up. I think I did fairly well concidering I didn't have any help building the coop or the run, plus the fact that everything I used is recycled material.
I'm pretty proud of myself!
Hope everyone has been able to stay dry. Cause I know I wasn't able too.
Question to you gardeners...
I'm growing pumkins for the first time, and out of 12 plants I only have maby 3 pumpkins forming, and about 8 flowers with the start of fruit hidden underneath... What on earth did I do wrong? Will the little fruits under the flowers have enough time to mature before the growing season is over? I planted them in mid May like I was instructed, the plants were pre started by a farmer in Renton, then given to me with instructions. And now I am at a loss with no-body local to ask for help... Could someone with more experience please give me some advice?
Thanks guys!
