2·
1 year agoI’m working on this. I have 2, soon to be 3 crops of beans & corn in (planning/hoping to get my 3rd crop in on Friday afternoon), and various squash (both summer and winter) planted amongst them. I think I’m going to attempt to put pumpkins in too, one last time - it’s a bit late now, but my first batch (which I started inside) were frosted shortly after I set them out (bad timing…), and none of the others that I’ve tried to directly sow have come up - I think something is digging them up :( But, we should have spagehtti, maybe some butternut squash, cucumbers, zucchini and maybe some watermelon too :)
Chickens are awesome. The best part is not feeling bad about ‘wasted’ leftovers - chickens love them :) We have 18 chickens atm, and 11 ducks - though I think we accidentally kept ~4-5+ drakes instead of just one… so 3-4+ of the ducks may end up at the auction in another month or three. Will be waiting for a while yet though, to be sure :)
