Farm Tasks for the Week
Started more seedlings for fall planting (chamomile, catnip, statice, pincushion, and phlox). Put the viola seeds into the fridge to give them their needed cold stratification before planting.
Still working on the new beds. Finished moving in fill dirt this week. Before we get much further there is a leak that has to be found in the existing sprinkler system. Two steps forward … well you know the rest.
Chickens
This week the rooster has decided he’d rather hang out in the bush then come into the coop in the evening at roll call. I think one of the girls is picking on him again as I found one of his pretty iridescent tail feathers in the coop. Always drama with these guys. We have eggs available this week.
