spring onions, big ladies, and worm poop


Here is the spring onion crop. Or, whats left of it after a couple weeks of eating them.


The chickens are full grown now. No eggs yet but should be soon. We bought them a wooden training egg that you leave in the nesting box to show them where to lay.




































Got worm poop? The lettuce on the right was planted with some vermicompost (worm poop) added to the planting mix. The lettuce on the left hasn't sprouted yet because it is sad that it didn't get any worm poop.

Omens for the Owens

Yesterday I saw both an owl and a hawk on my way home from work. Today while mowing the grass, I stopped to watch this little incident. That's right, a serpent, in an apple tree, at the pastor's house. Meaning?

Yes, Emily has seen the pictures. She is not pleased.


And yes. The chickens are all alive and safe.
