It's getting hot out there!

I know it has been awhile since the last update. A lot has been going on here at Hotel Yorba. First Sally was laying eggs for about a month and a half and then went back to being broody. Today was the first day she came out of the coop without me picking her up and forcing her out. Hopefully we will get some eggs out of her soon. Turbo and Poppy are doing well. It is getting hot out there so I am making sure they have plenty of water and treats. I am lucking that the coop, green run and black run is very shady.



The garden has had some issues. First of all, most of my carrots were eaten up by the bunny rabbit that lives on the grounds here at Hotel Yorba. I was not very happy. I would have shared with her but noooo! She had to take them all! Next, one of my tomato plants died. Just upped and died. I planted two new ones and Ms. Bunny came and nibble on those! Didn't touch the others! Ugh. Hopefully she has had enough. We did get four or five potatoes that were super yummy. I have more of those growing and can't wait to dig them up. I planted some summer squash and zucchini. I have three cucumber plants and will probably plant a few more seed this weekend. I planted more beet seeds but nothing has come up yet. To hot maybe?!?


The remaining tomato plants have been doing very well. I have gotten some yummy ones so far. I may by one or two more plants cause you just can't have to many!! Justin and I found a great store, The Super H Mart. What a wonderful store! We have been cooking more trout since we can get it from GA fishermen. Last week we got 2 pounds of mussels for $3.00!! It was a great meal!
