Farm Tasks for the Week
Another round of weeding this week (mostly baby oaks) along with fertilizing and spraying BT for caterpillars. Found some assassin bugs helping out with the caterpillar issue, yay!
Added higher support netting for the sweet peas and finally getting the support netting out for the gladiolus. Always better to get that up before it’s needed but somehow got delayed this year.
Seed collection has started for bluebonnets & Icelandic poppies.

Chickens have no drama this week, which is always good. Eggs are still at spring pricing.
