My mulch came. I spread some. It's going to go a long way. One bale pretty much did the whole veggie garden. Good stuff.

Did some weeding yesterday, and heading out soon to do some more. The weeds grew at an alarming rate while I was laid up with my bad knees, and now pretty much every bed needs weeding. Also, one of my favorite thrift shops is having a 50% off sale this weekend for Labor Day, so me & hubs are heading there later when it starts getting too warm out. Love to shop at thrift stores - you never know what unique and/or nice items you might find, and usually at great prices!

My mom and I love going to thrift stores! We say we're going to the rag bag. You never know what you'll find.

We got back in the garden today after talking a few days to volunteer for the Harvey relief effort up here. Cleaned the coop and run...pretty amazing how much 20 chickens can poop in 3 days! D roasted peppers and tomatoes from the garden, and smoked the fish fillets from last week's outing. I mowed and cut a few more aspen to dry for chipping for the DL in the run. I have used oak, aspen, white pine, tulip tree, maple and hickory to chip for the garden and run mulch. We'll let the chickens into the garden later to till in the mulch and crop remnants, so have stayed away from black cherry and sumac as it is rumored to have some toxicity to chickens.
We had a message on our phone from Friday from the Ohio Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab pertaining to chickens we submitted last month after we lost a couple.
Marek's disease was confirmed...wonderful, but that's another thread in a different forum.
