It isn't officially Summer yet but the weather has been hot and muggy as if it were.
The pheasants now seem to be at their peak egg laying season. There was the bator hatch two and a half weeks ago prior to the NY visit, one of the hens started sitting just before we left and she hatched out this week AND now the other hen is sitting!
Other activities on the farm - Hay and more Hay. Grandpa, ran the square baler, Mariah and I bundled on the field and then loaded up one trailer load, and with the help of all the others in the family loaded up another full load as well another small load. We were able to put away 195 bales.
There's health activity in the garden. Summer Squash is blooming! Beets are getting close to being harvested. Transplanted two tomato volunteers. They will offset the loss of two plants Louise gave us. The Starlings are notorious for snipping young starting plants. So I was very happy to see the replacements.
We 'processed' all our Cornish-Rick Cross yesterday and filled the freezer for another year. Now we have the one Buff we rescued from Tim's... I'm ready to buy a few more from "Traver Chicken's-N-More".
ReplyDeleteBy the way - I have burlap bags for your garden.
