We are going to be getting a few new chicks this year and some ducks.

If anyone would like some mature chickens that still lay.

These ladies are free. 6 Rhode Island Reds & 1 Blue Plymouth Barrock. (Brown eggs & 2 years old)

All of them are very use to being picked up and handled.
Bona-fide beggars. They come running, hoping for leftovers/scraps/treats.

The Blauhilde Beans are starting to come in! The trellises worked perfectly for the pole beans.

I often get asked, "Why did you plant wildflowers in the garden?"

Often, native wildflowers have medicinal purposes & they attract pollinators to the garden.

They offer to be somewhat of a w**d barrier & some shade to plants that are in need of it.

Most "w**ds" unless toxic, have medicinal purposes/ full of nutrients as well. (Some are just invasive and annoying though.)

In the fall, after the harvest season, any part of the flower or seeds that are left end up being extra nutrition for the chickens.

We allow the chickens to clean up and fertilize the garden for us in the off season.

This what Permaculture looks like too.

Permaculture is an approach to land management and settlement design that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems. It includes a set of design principles derived using whole-systems thinking.

Medicinal purposes Echinacea & Black Eyed Susan offer.

If anyone would like some Heirloom Japanese Red Mustard seeds let me know. They can be saved for next, planted now for a fall crop, or used in a brine. By the weekend, I'm hoping to rip out the old and prep for a fall crop.

Unfortunately, our a/c is down and I can not do iced cupcakes or royal iced cookies until it's fixed.

I can make breads, muffins, cookies, and other desserts.

We have one pasture raised chicken left, and eggs when available.

I will post an update once I can do iced cupcakes and royal iced cookies again.
