Planting a Seed

Well, I decided to start a blog. Dan and I are starting so many different projects I thought it would be fun to have a place to keep track of them all. This past weekend I started several flats of seeds. We still havent finalized our vegetable order so it was all ornamentals so far....except for the brandywine tomatoes Lilah planted with grandma:). Dan planted the seed potatoes from last years (lack of) crop.

The chickens are doing great. Since we are now down to 1 dog, we are letting them free range in the backyard instead of the front. This is saving the emerging bulbs and curbing the chickens desire to cross the road. I am placing an order with some MDC mamas for some more chicks in the next month or so. It should be very interesting having a bunch of baby chicks.

I am planning on ordering some red wrigglers to start vermicomposting as well. I have been meaning to do it for several years now, but it always seems to get forgotten.

I think we are pushing the bees back til at least next year. I think it will be great but am a little worried about where to safely keep the bees where the kids, dog, or chickens wont get to them. Dan talked to an architect today about our roof and the possible addition. We wont be doing it for a while, but he wants to get a plan going. He wanst a green roof, and we were trying to incorporate a space for a hive or two there.

I guess thats it for this first post. The seed is planted, with some care and attention, I am hoping it grows!
