Farm Tasks for the Week
Planted the anemones and a third of the ranunculus. Still waiting for some rain and a final temperature drop out of the 90’s. Not sure when that is going to happen.
Chickens
Chickens are being cooped up a lot because the red-tailed hawk is hunting them relentlessly. He’s been hanging out all over the yard. When I saw him this morning, he was flying by with most likely a vole in his talons.
