The garden is in!

Well this past week has been very busy for is around the farm! We were able to get the garden planted. We set up a permanent fence this year so things will go faster next year. I got my started seeds transplanted and planted new seeds in the ground. Chris purchased a new irrigation system for this year so I have been working on setting it up as well. Need to order some more parts before i can finish it.

Stella's babies are doing well, we have named them April and Abbi. They will be listed for sale soon. They are getting so big! They are very sweet, little bouncing girls! We are on baby watch for Coco! She is getting very large and very uncomfortable, I do feel bad for her, but it will be over soon! I look forward to meeting them when they are born.

We do have some sad news. Earlier this week we lost one of our goats. I came home from work on tuesday and could not find her. We found no signs of her when we looked, so we are not sure what happened to her. She will be missed around the farm! We have also lost another chicken. We saw some large hawks flying over the farm yesterday and last night we were down a bird. This has not been a great year for chickens! Although we do continue to have plenty of eggs! We also have 8 hens that have gone broody on us so we are slowly replenishing our stock! We should have some more peeps this coming week!
