Dogs

We definitely need to build a fence to keep the dogs out of the plots. I planted a bunch of lettuces in the shady area of the garden the other day and the dogs have since tromped through the plots. Luckily it was just seed, so it's probably only scattered. Hopefully we can get something up this week to keep them out. I have so much more I want to do out there, but I don't want all of my work undone by dogs. Plus keeping the dogs out of the garden space is good because that's where the chickens will be when they move into their coup. I think those dogs would really try to eat them.

Went to farmers market yesterday and picked up some strawberries, cherries, lemon cucumbers, some local honey and some fresh eggs. I've never seen eggs at the market before. Eggs laid only two days before! Came home and made egg sandwiches. Yummo! It really does make a difference. I cannot wait for our chicks to start laying. It'll be some time still. They're very little. But the wait will be worth it. I hope we have enough to share.

Our corn is getting big and soon I'll be shaking pollen all over so the kernels with grow on the ears. I planted more corn in the back, but a different variety that is popcorn. I hope we have lots of movie nights once it's ready.

That's all for now. More to come this week as we put up the fence, finish the coop and move the chicks outside.
