Farm Sunday

Mucking out the chicken house. Chicks arrive in three weeks!

Planting shelling peas and sugar snaps. We re-purposed some loose cattle panels for the trellis. 

Lily took it upon herself one afternoon to remove all the corn stalk nubs from the garden beds. I didn't ask her to, as I was going to use them as markers to plant beans by. I like that she decided to do this intense chore, did it, came in and cleaned up, and it was no big deal. Just something that she saw needed to be done, so she did it.

  1. Wonderful sharing! I love the pea trellis, have been trying to come up with a good idea for ours. So far, side of the dog kennel...
