The Boys Helped Me Pick The Last Of The Carrots Today

We had beautiful weather here, 15 degrees Celsius (59 F), so we took the opportunity to harvest. We've been pulling carrots for months now, anytime I have need em for dinner I just go straight out back. It's been great, yet I know we didn't plant enough to last us through winter. Hopefully next year. It's amazing how much our family eats, it really sinks in when you're growing it yourself and trying to prepare for winter.

@EddieBowes with the pitchfork, loosening the soil for Stryder and Kiedis to pull the carrots

Me, just enjoying taking photos, my work will come later haha!

Some were kind of small...

Plenty of these medium sized ones...

Eddie Took A Break To Catch Big Smokie

All the chickens are on the run because no one wants to be the unlucky one who gets "man snuggles"...

Mr. Pendock and James Bond

Well this carried on for a while, and no, Eddie couldn't catch Big Smokie but he tried hard and that's what matters lolol. The two little guys carried on working...

Stryder

There's the Haul!

Eddie was able to catch a door prize though haha, the easiest chicken to catch because of its injured wing from months ago, Peter Parker.

Peter Parker is still pretty young and moulting/growing feathers, yet it's easy to see he'll be one beautiful Rooster.

This poor old gal is moulting too, yet the missing feathers from her wing is not from that. She has the unlucky "privilege" of being Mr. Pendock's favourite...that's from being mated too often :(

My greenhouse has turned into the dustbath house for the winter months.

The boys were digging out tonnes of these wild carrots. The next photo really cracked us up. When we looked at this the first time, the boys and I laughed so hard we couldn't even breathe, the look on Kiedis' face is out of this world hilarious!! Eddie actually printed the photo and they made a frame out of paper for it and hung it on the wall hahhaha!!!

Definitely caption that!

Jimmy is not amused either...

Is there a hotline I can call for my out of control chicken addiction?

Carrots All Shiny And Clean

Added bonus the boys found some onion and a beet!

Today Was The Big Day!

Debbie came to pick up her 9 chicks. Mother Hen Grace finally kicked them out of her nest the other day, so they went to their loving new home tonight.

And I'd say this is a pretty great trade for the chicks, two gigantic spaghetti squash that Debbie grew.

The Round Up

It was actually pretty funny because chicks kept escaping and the boys were chasing after them all around the coop.

Bye little chicks, have fun living at Debbie's with her gang! We'll visit soon :)

Thanks for coming along with us on our day! I hope you all had a great one too, and a lovely upcoming Thanksgiving if you're in the USA!
