Busy time of year!

Phew! What a busy time of year. The first batch of chicks are out on pasture, and the second batch are in the brooder - along with the first turkeys. The goats are all done kidding and ready to go to pasture. In between all the regular chores and day job, I am trying to put in my garden. Check out square foot gardening for a really innovative way of gardening. I love it. No tilling, hardly any weeding. The raised beds drain really well, yet stay nice and moist (with vermiculite and peat moss added to the soil). Now hopefully we get some heat and sunshine so those pumpkins can grow!
I am still working on the Pilgrim Farms web site and hope to have that up and running soon. It is hard to believe we are in the month of June already!
Happy gardening!
