Our daughter has graduated from high school and we have celebrated with a terrific open house! My family helped me with getting everything ready inside and out. Landscaping looks great and even though I don't have to work on that type of thing, I have still decided to rest the garden this summer. It's been six years of gardening, and this the seventh year I will rest the land (and myself!). Since it's mid-June already and the garden is grown over I think I'll enjoy going to the farmer's markets and the food auction to collect my garden booty.
Although it will cost me a more to purchase my tomatoes, beans, onions, and zucs, I will still be canning and freezing. I'm excited to hit the Saturday markets and such. I also have a friend who put in something like 50 tomato plants, so I figure we can buy bushels of toms from her.
The steers are looking good & growing well. We just moved them into pasture three a few days ago and they will stay there for a few more days. This dry spell isn't the best thing for us. So far, the pasture is holding up, but rain would be very welcome here on Chestnut Hill Farm.
My two hatched-on-the-farm chicks, Chelsea & Spot, are growing quick! Dan said he'd add onto my chicken coop so we can increase our flock and sell eggs again. Hopefully, we'll get to that soon so we can put Chelsea & Spot in there until they are big enough to go in with the other hens. They are a bit too big for the cage they are in now.
