First tomato harvest of the year weighing in at 24.4 # with as many close behind. If you need me, I’ll be canning…..

Yesterday, 11 quarts of pintos, 6 quarts of black beans and 5 1/2-pints of refried beans. My big helper assisted in washing the cans and labeling! We’re off to do green beans!

Last year, our garden was a challenge. The soil wasn’t prepared, it was early to mid-June before we got things in the ground. It was a terribly hot and dry summer. This year, i began working on the soil in November. I started planning the garden in December. I made sure I had all the seeds I needed, when to start or plant each one, drew out where everything would go, what plants were companions to each other, etc. Hours went in to it. I am starting to reap the benefits of the hours I have spent!

I’m hungry so I decided to shop my garden. I knew the potatoes weren’t quite ready to be harvested, but I really want potatoes. What an amazing surprise! I did it. I grew potatoes!

Baby chick hatched on May 20th. We moved it and Mama to one of our goat stalls. This allowed us to know they were both safe and unbothered (as well as one can be around here), as well as better access to food and water. Today, they ventured out!

My husband found a killdeer nest while mowing. The little mama let him know rather aggressively that the nest was there. We will keep her nest protected as well as we can!

Shes a little dramatic. Side note: She is on a tie out when she is outside because our neighbor puts cows to pasture twice a year. Journey loves to roll in cow p**p. I dont like to bathe her every day! 😉
