New Additions to Our Family

The new girls getting use to coop.

They would not sleep inside for a little while but now they are in there with the rest of them

Troy's coop expansion has been working out very well.
Another little critter found in the garden.

Well actually they were all located on my dill plant.  I have finally gotten dill to grow this year and these guys were trying to destroy the plant.  We removed them with tweezers and took care of them...


I have really been enjoying my time in the garden and with the chickens.  My garden is definitely a trial and error process.  I have about 3 heads of cabbage coming in pretty good.  I however planted about 7 plants but only three are developing.  I have brussel sprouts that were growing great and now have stopped growing.  Our weather has been crazy lately.  We get a cold front and temps drop in the 40's and then 3 days later we are back up in the low 80's.

My next pictures will be of what is still growing from my winter planting.  Cherry tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage, Swiss chard, I am also in the process of planting for the spring
