Here they come!




So things are coming along quickly, weve missed a weekend so we had a lot to do. We planted most of our seeds last week and things are starting to come up. Here is a yellow golden squash mixed among our sweet corn:
Our strawberries are starting to come along nicely too:

Herbs: we were short on herb seeds so i gave my friend Allston a call, he works for Sea Island Savory Herbs, we traded him an old laptop battery for a flat of herbs and quite a few leafy greens for the side bed.

The beets are coming along quickly and strongly. We grew 4 different types and the "early beet" blend is getting close already!

Our peas were getting quite large so we went ahead and put in the fence for them to grow on. we planted two rows a few weeks apart to give us a gap between productions so we could keep it coming.
Our big project this weekend is our chicken coop. We had to break down and buy our 2x4's for this project. we needed about 13 of them and picked them up from Lowes :(. But with a little hard labor we got the frame done in one day. The day after this we put the wire and roof on the house. now all we have left is to put some wheels on it so it can be easliy moved about the yard and to buy some chickens.

Well this is all we have for now. Ill post some pics of the chickens when we get them going.
