Gardening, Vegies, Chicks, and More Toys

While Tim has been working hard to keep our garden growing....

The first few weeks of growth.

Ready to harvest last week.
They are growing beautifully and even larger now.

The cats being mischievous in the garden. I laugh every time I look at Lola's face :) She was so mad that I wasn't picking her up and bringing her into the garden with me.
 I have been working hard making toy fruit, veggies, and reversible baskets to put them in.

In the meantime, our chicks have been growing big. I love their little peeps and coos.


They are sweet little things, but I must admit I have a favorite. Lucy, the little black one laying down in this pic.


Charlie.....she started as the boss of the group but has become quite sweet and docile.

Lucy......she is always watching what is going on around her.

Mu Shu....she is a spunky little gal.
 This fenced area didn't have much going on, so we decided to do some vertical gardening. The first step was getting things cleared....

Before..

After...with the hens digging for worms and Gigi wanting to be a part of the digging.

Naughty gals. They usually wait outside the door, but today they tried to sneak in for the first time.

  1. Nice garden progression pics! Tim sure is a green thumb, and you are the mod-craft queen! I love all the creations. My favorite pics, though, are the hens coming into your house (HA!) and the pic of the hens and gigi being chill together. There is always a lot going on at your house!

  2. Love the corn you made. Adorable! Also, can't believe how well your garden is growing. We haven't even started ours yet. Pathetic,I know. :)
