What are your plans for the summer?

[Cyprus]

What are y'all planning to do this summer? I am planning to garden, show my poultry, and work on summer coursework.

I work in the summer (April-October). Then I get the whole winter off

Your gardening plan makes me a bit envious...we used to have a huge garden in FL but here in WY we have scrub, hard packed dirt, ground squirrels, badgers, and high winds (not to mention the roaming antelope and deer). Gardening isn't really viable where we live now. But, hopefully someday we can get back to it!

Enjoy your summer @Cyprus

Thank you! I hope you enjoy your summer, too.
Have you thought about using a greenhouse to garden?

I have baby goats arriving this month. I’d like to try raising a lamb, too. We’ll probably get a new puppy and we are planning a new chicken coop. Maybe pigs? I just put guinea eggs in the incubator, but I hope to have one more chicken hatch this summer, too. Lots of landscaping. I think that’s it. It’s quite enough already, isn’t it? lol

Ah, incubating Guinea eggs! It is quite fun!
What breed(s) of goat do you have? I'm so jealous!! I've been waiting for years to get some goats. I still have to wait lol

Wonderful breed! I assume you have them for dairy?

Yes. Two pretty little doelings eventually for milk. The lamb for meat and to see if we like having both. We bought 13 acres last fall and I’ve spent the winter and spring filling it with birds. Now for other critters.

Out of curiosity, what state do you live in if you don't mind sharing? I wish I had that much land; I only 5 acres and almost two whole acres is an alfalfa/grass hay field.

We've talked about it, but these darn high winds! Our place is exposed (no trees) and we'd have a lot of expense and effort to put in something permanent using concrete/wood framing, etc.

So, some day we'll be able to get back into gardening but it will have to be some place other than here.
