Off Season Update

Here are some of the happenings of the last few months:

Seth proposed in December- we're getting married in about 6 months!  Exciting times! Oh and excuse the dirt- we had been harvesting carrots:)

We got 45 laying hens.  Be on the look out at CSA pick-ups for any extra we're selling.

Here they are munching on some grub in front of their hen house.  

We planted LOTS and LOTS of potatoes.  It's good luck to plant them before St. Patty's Day, so that's what we did all St. Patty's weekend.  This is picture of them curing.  

After cutting them in half and letting them dry for a day or two, it's time for planting. Seth is prepping rows on the tractor here.

I can't wait to try these guys: purple potatoes!

One of our female ducks, Duchess, hatched 10 babies! Here is a picture of her nest a few days before they ducklings hatched.  

Here is one of the babies several hours after being born. 

Here is one just a few of days old.  They grow so fast!!

And here they all are having lots of new adventures with their mom.

We planted some tomatoes last week.  I'm about ready for a fresh and juicy tomato! The black you see is plastic mulch we used for weed and water control.
