What did you do in the garden today?

[Pasha838]

Today I transplanted plum to a more suitable place. That`s all there, next time (morning) i will reinforce the fence there (this is a small fenced area), and after that let my goats out of the barn to this place. They need to get used to each other, because the crib is big and they lived in two different rooms (goats are have very various age, there a some old and some very young goats). After that, they can be led to walk outside. I do not want to bring them ahead of time, suddenly they will run into two herds and go not with me, but in different directions. In general, there are rumors that the quarantine will continue until the end of May, but I have no choice - the goats need to eat grass, and I can’t let them go alone without me, so we will secretly run through the forest quickly and hide like partisans.

9 may i will dig in this area the earth an plant the potato (in this region we plant the potato only in 9 may, because the clima is not too warm).

Well, morning i will reinforce the fence, and after that i will can return to my summer-kitchen building, it will be a kitchen with a smokehouse, a small Asian oven for baking cakes, a pizza oven and a place for frying barbecue. While I am making the foundation of this building, it will be made of foam blocks (material similar to brick). The ovens i will make of bricks and clay, we have a good clay here.

Hi Pasha. I was wondering if you had been out walking with your goats recently. Sure hope you share pictures with us as you build your kitchen!

While it is too early to walk here, there is almost no grass, and sometimes it is wet snow. But when the sun warms up, I think to bring the goats first to a fenced area so that they get used to each other. Then we will go for a walk in the forest, and we will hide there as partisans, because the police do not allow walking during quarantine. But I have no choice - my goats need to eat grass, but they cannot be released alone. There are no people in the forest, so I do not violate the quarantine itself much, but if they catch me in the village, they can probably fine me ))

About the kichen - here are some materials - foam blocks, bricks, and roof metal. Externally, this building will be something in between a Japanese tea house and a Russian bus stop , there will be wide some sliding doors, which I plan to make partially from glass from an old shower. They can be pushed left or right during warm weather, or closed completely when it is cold outside. Frankly, most materials are not new, but used, so the cost of this building will be low.

Continuing the theme of work, tonight I was "harvesting" hens. Young hens are still stupid and remain sleeping on the street without going into the chicken coop, I have to come and collect them and put them in the chicken coop through the door. We have cold nights here, it may be wet snow.

I think it's wonderful that you recycle materials for projects. It often brings character to the thing you're creating.

IgorsMistress, may i ask you one (maybe stupid, sorry) question? I am foreigner and english language "studied" only by cine, cartoons, and computer games (in my childhood learned in one simple country shool where was only fields, piglets and cows, there was one teacher of foreign languages, but she spoke only german and french, and after that i studied normal only german, another languages i know a little, but speak width much mustakes and sometimes don`t know some words). Well, can you translate, what is "IgorsMistress"? I know what is "Mistress", but the word "Igors" i can`t find, what is it? This is any fowl, or any animals, any people, or any name, or what?? I see you in this forum more as two or tree years, always want to ask, but always shy ))
Sorry by the question what can be stupid, but sometimes i can`t find some words in the dictionary on google-translate

I have one idea to buind a new fountain, i have one stone-duck (statue), and i want to make a hole in one big stone and make a very small "waterfall" (and the duck will "spit" water too). I want to plant flowers around the fountain, most likely it will be irises. I hope to put small cheap fish into the water itself (it will be later, but such an idea), because at the base where I buy a lot of grain, they also sell specialized food for such fish.
Now i collect a big stones (i live in the hills, here can find sometimes a stones in the forest), and take this stones to my house. But now i sit at home, of course, we have the quarantine too.

The spring and serious works in the garden begin here in the mayo, now we have cold weather.

Usually the stones what i can find here are like that (this fountain i built in last year). But new fountain will be bigger and the idea will be another - one stone duck spit water and one small waterfall, flowers near of the fountain, and small, cheap fish (used to live in russian climate, i don`t know now the correct name of this fish, this is "karas", "taranka", "koryushka" or something like that. This fish-question i leave on next time, when i will finish the fountain )

About the coronavirus i don`t have any ideas, i don`t have medical or bacteriologial education. Here near of the Moscow rumor has it that it will be until the end of May. I have something to do - in the spring and at the beginning of summer I will rake a lot of manure from the stable (here it is done once a year, then disinsection takes place, and then the next winter the litter is made thicker and thicker so that the heat from the manure goes in winter and animals did not cold).
