My babies have arrived! I was so excited when the Post Office called me and let me know they were here. When I picked them up, they were chirping away. When I got them home, I carefully opened the box. I was so happy to see all the different colors. As I took each one out, I dipped their beaks into water. This helps them learn how to drink. As I was watching them, I noticed I was missing one. I ordered 11 but received 10! They left out one of my Easter Eggers.
Claire doesn't know what to think about these baby chicks. When she is outside, she loves to kill birds. I am trying to break her of this, but it's not going too well. I had a talk with Claire and let her know if she tries to kill my babies, she was in deep trouble.
This is the first year I tried flowers. They finally bloomed, but it took FOREVER. I think next year I will start them in a greenhouse or inside.
I am obsessed with taking pictures of flowers.....
This is another color of Cosmo. I had a few different colors....
Wow...How it has grown. We have so much stuff planted that when I walk down the tomato rows, I get claustrophobic....It's not a fun thing to do;) As you can see we had cut the limbs off the peach trees. They were taking over the whole middle. The tomato plants are over 6 foot tall and are putting on more and more tomatoes. My zucchini plants are massive, I am hoping I will be getting a lot off of it pretty soon;)
Look at those peppers! There are 12 peppers on just one plant....I thought that was pretty crazy. If anyone wants some peppers, you know where they are!
Look at these beauties! They are so red and ripe! Nothing like making BLT's and Salsa with fresh tomatoes.
I bought this blackberry bush last year at Lowes on the 50% off almost dead table. It is doing really well and this will be the first year that I have berries.....I can't wait to make Todd's favorite...Blackberry Pie:)
I looked today to see if I had some beans coming on and I do! We planted 100 foot, so when the beans come on more, I will have plenty to sell:)
