Greetings from the Homestead - its been a while since I have posted. With work, school starting and many projects on the homestead I have found little time for social media.
where to start...where to start...
well, lets see we since put a barn for our chickens and goats and have even made a few improvements. We now have a pretty pink barn. I am thinking of painting windows and a flower boxes on the side too.
not only have we transformed this shed into a barn we have given it a few upgrades to make cleaning a little easier as well as give a nice plush place for the goats and chickens to rest at night.
we have put in rubber mats and built new nesting boxes for the hens too. Now we just have to get these ladies laying. I have tried putting some ceramic eggs in the boxes to try and interest the ladies in starting to produce some eggs - will let you know how that works out.
I am coming to realize that I need to build a second barn/shelter for my goats as our flock grown and we intend to buy more hens next month too. As well, I plan to breed my little Frigg once she is old enough in about another 12 to 14 months. I plan to try my hand at making cheese and soap with the milk.
It has not been all work and no play though. My husband and I took the girls for a little outing at a local fall festival where they got to build their own Scare Crow. We call him Scary Garry.
Not much to update from the garden though. I have a very small fall garden going this year. Just planted some peas, radishes, carrots, potatoes and going to see if I can squeak in some winter squash. I also have some cabbage that still needs to be transplanted. Peas are doing fantastic already and we should be able to raise enough to can or freeze a few meals.
Happy Homesteading friends.
