giant tomato plant

That's DH standing next to an enormous tomato plant! People stop by all the time, asking how our gardening is doing so well and theirs isn't. I tell them it's the chicken poop!

spring garden

Our garden is looking a lot better this year than it did last year. We are eating lettuce, carrots, onions and a few strawberries from our garden. DH does most the work in the garden and I take care of the chickens.

random friday

We have a couple of watermelons growing in our garden...the hens are going to love them!
Garlic.
Bell pepper.
Lettuce and carrots.

The chicks are now 5 weeks old...where does time go? This bottom picture is one of the roosters...he's not completely feathered out.

hump day...

I started this sweater Monday night after I finished knitting my fall socks (see pic below).  This is my first sweater to knit.  I'll be working on it at night while DH and I watch TV.  I knitted a few rows last night while watching Fringe...one of my favorite shows.  Whoever writes for this show definitely has a vivid imagination!  
On cold days like today, these socks keep my feet toasty.  
There are about 200 potted seeds in this light box that DH built this past weekend...some of the plants are already sprouting.  

chickens and garden...

DH feeding the reds rye grass...they have rye grass in their yard area, but like to think they are getting something special if you hand feed them.  This past Saturday we processed 6 whites...we roasted one Sunday and the others are in the freezer.    
DH welded this row maker together.
This is what the garden looks like after DH made the rows...I couldn't believe how fast he was able to make the rows.  We plan on planting potatoes this weekend.
