Another beautiful day

Today the turkey/chicken run has been finished.

As you can see Gobble and Gravy are in their new home. I've been out to check in them this evening.  They are sleeping in the grass Instead of sleeping inside their house.
I planted some peas, carrots, kale, spinach, radishes, potatoes,  chives and beets today. 



We planted 4 rhubarb plants that have been wintered so hopefully they will keep growing well.
Cam made Oreo and Cecilia a platform for they to play on and lay down. 
It was a very productive day. I even got a slight sunburn. 🌞

Adding to the Homestead

We got 4 more turkeys to add to the homestead. Our order of meat chicks came in Wednesday.  I ordered the chicks from the farm where we have them processed.


This little baby I named Cheeps had straddle leg which I tried helping correct but sadly this one passed away last night.
Today's project was building a Turkey/chicken Tractor for the meat birds. 



We also finally put the solar lights on the barn this afternoon.
We put a couple more flowers on the front porch.

The compost is being shoveled into the raised beds. Im also going to pick up Rhubarb plants tomorrow. I was informed it is better to get some that have already aged a winter. Hopefully they will grow well and come back in force!
Tomorrow hopefully we will finish pruning the apple trees.  From all the storms we have a nice amount of wood now for the firepit.
Enjoy the rest of your night.
