Yesterday Dan was home and he, Abby & I "spring cleaned" the barn. This included mucking out the chicken coop where the hens are, the chicken tractor & barn area where the broilers were, and under the rabbits cages. We moved a few rabbit cages to make room for the new broilers that are coming tomorrow, and rearranged where we keep some equipment. Swept out the coop and barn, and sanitized with bleachwater the coop, chicken tractor, and parts of the barn. All the manure and straw went into the back of his new truck and we dumped it behind the pature at the back of the property - Our first composting manure pile!
This weekend we had a divider fence put in down the center of our pasture, when the grass really starts coming on, we will start our paddock rotation.
We have our potatoes and onions in the garden, and the rest of the garden has the raised beds made and mounds ready for planting. Dan bought me a light system and I have started some things from seed. In our garden, we will have the onions, potatoes, lettuce, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, green beans, pumpkins, cantaloupe, zucchini, and cucumbers. Did I leave anything out?

Well, I am not so sure about the mucking out...especially chicken doo doo. But all the other stuff is way fun! And a compost pile...great stuff.
