Hello again, I have decided to start posting two times a week. So from now on I will be posting on Mondays and Thursdays. This Monday I am going to give you all an update.
I have been updating you on different animals and insects but today I will be talking about everything that has happened. I am going to start with the garden, if you have read some of our other posts you will know that we have six raised beds. In these beds we have planted, tomatoes, radishes, beans, cucumbers, and other things. Several of those things are growing well and almost ready for harvest. We have already picked most of the radishes and have also got some garlic that we planted next to the potato patch. Which leads me to the next thing, potatoes. I will ask my dad how he made the patch itself but we have six rows of potatoes. Each row is marked with stick that I wood burned the “potato” on. There are four potato plants growing and those four are doing well. I will update you again at harvest time to tell you what we got from our garden. We also have a small apple tree that has a bunch of apples on it. In past years we have had little apples on it but this year there are some bigger ones two.
Now I will move on to the animals. There isn’t much to say about them, the goats are doing well and so are the chickens. The ducklings are getting bigger and switching moms. We aren’t sure why but MC’s child has joined Splash and rarely visits his mother. All the ducks normally follow around Splash now but sometimes we will spot them with MC. In my post ( Click here to read) about ducks I mentioned the duck house and how all the ducks got out of it. We did catch them all again besides the two mothers of course, but they managed to get out again. My dad found a hole where the tarp and deer netting met and he fixed it. We still need to catch them again and we will soon but it is actually pretty difficult.
Now I will move onto some birds who haven’t escaped, the chickens. In my post ( Click here to read) about chickens I talked about some new ones we got. They were only a week or two old at that point. Now they are much older and nearing the stage when they will start laying eggs. I will tell you when they do start laying.
There is one other thing that is not about the animals or plants, this year my mom has decided to home school us. I will share about our curriculum later when we have everything figured out. That is all I had to share about today, and I will be posting another post on Thursday this week.
