Farm Tasks for the Week
Was a mostly a weeding and mulching week as the new flower starters got large enough to add leaf mulch around them.
Planted out more celosia in the planters and seeded more zinnias and sunflowers indoors.
Chickens
Chickens have officially slowed down their egg laying. I guess they got the memo that summer has officially started. This will be the last week at spring egg pricing.
