Farm updates!

its so nice to know we were missed!! We've been super homesteading these last few weeks, its hard to remember what's happened! First, we've met a kindred spirit in the hood with ducks and chickens that he had to get rid of because somebody reported him. So we are going to be harboring his poutlry for a while until he can find other arrangements. This brings the number of ducks in the back yard to about 25. Omg, this is crazy. And I think there is a rooster as well... Trouble. The ducks are adorable though. They're spotted like a dog, it's so cute. But this is just the kind of kick in the pants needed to get a chicken petition going. Let us know if you'd like to get involved!!
We have started the fall garden with mixed results, the red Hopi dye amaranth has done really well, but the golden giant amaranth keeps getting eaten by varments. The peas and beans sprang back to life after the repeated goat/duck attacks a few weeks ago. Thank goodness. The red Russian kale is getting bigger and I'm still waiting for the carrots and beets to come up, but it's only been a few day since I planted them.
I think deputy dingle is getting the job done as well. I pretty sure they have the height difference figured out, he stands on the highest pallet in the manger while sugarbit backs up on the ground, sorry for that visual, but that kind of nitty gritty knowledge is part of farm life, haha. So gross. Don't worry, I won't post pictures of that. But I will post others!
