Changes

So I’ve been a little busy recently and haven’t given much of an update. Mostly it is because of new employment; dealing with organic agriculture. Aside from that there are some new arrivals. A few things have germinated: Sugar loaf chicory, Black Seeded Simpson lettuce, and some type of savoyed Italian cabbage whose name is escaping me currently. We just call it the chicken cabbage. It grew really poorly and neither of us really liked it. So the majority of what we grew we fed to the chickens.

Speaking of chickens, we ordered some new ones for this year. In about 3 weeks we will be getting the following breeds as pullets: Buff Catalana, Golden Campine, Ameraucanas, Buff Orpingtons, and Partridge Silkie Bantams. In addition we got the hatchery choice of males for meat. Commercial chicken just tastes badly now. In reality there isn’t much flavor nor texture. We enjoy home grown.
