Carrots and Potatoes

I think tomorrow I will be pulling a few carrots. I think they are ready. I went to the Sandy Springs Farmers Market today and got some beets. Tomorrow I will be making a beet and goat cheese salad. I plan on having the carrots with dinner. Now that I have the salad and veg, I better come up with the main part of the meal. I saw somewhere that you are supposed to build mounds around your potato plants. So I did that today. I will have to do more reading on why you need to do this and when is the best time to harvest them.

Worked on the girls area today too. Clean out there they nesting box/try and let it dry in the sun. This forced Sally out of the coop for a bit. Sure enough, once I slid it back in place she was in there. It has been two months now. I know Poppy and Turbo are sick of it. They weather is so nice out today. Turbo and Poppy are enjoying their time in the black run. They did lots of digging and spent sometime in the dirt bath. It is very fun to watch them!

Back in Town

We are back in town! The garden has grown a lot in the week we were gone. I think the carrots are almost ready to pick and the other veg has done some serious growing. I realized that when planing the seeds I didn't stay in a straight line so now I have radishes growing between broccoli. Opps!

The girls are are doing great. Sally is still broody but there trees have really shaded in there area and it is very pleasant to sit out there. Our Cat/Chicken sitter, Julia, enjoyed watching the girls take dirt baths on Wednesday. This was the first time she ever saw them do this. It is fun to watch! If you need a great Cat/Chicken sitter, let me know! She is the best!

I have taken some new pictures...enjoy!

PS- I am really having a issue with placing the picture where I want them! GRRR....
