Got most of my new strawberries planted, watered AND mulched!
A friend wants about 40 plants so I'll dig those up later this next week. I will be planting them for him as well as he has been sick and still doesn't have the energy to plant them.
DH got all the straw chopped for mulching and cut the front meadow for me to use the grass clippings as mulch in the aisles. So now we'll need to arrange to get more straw because I don't want to end up like this spring with no straw and none available. Gotta cover with tarps though!!!
Getting another load of manure tomorrow and picking up three youg hens for DS. Instead of getting baby chicks this time he is trying with these hens that are already laying. They are Black Star, Golden Comet and Production Red.
I picked two small tomatoes from the garden today!!! So happy I put off pulling a few plants. Got a couple of beets the mice didn't chew, a few carrots and three onions so we're going to do roasted veggies. I already have a few turnips in the fridge and some peppers and potatoes.
We're supposed to get rain Sunday. We could use it, but mostly I'd like to see the temps cool off a bit, we've been hitting mid to high 80's.
