This is a photo of preparing for planting last year. Well, since Steve is too tied up with foundation and landscaping work for this spring and summer, I am tackling the planting on a smaller scale and much like they did back-in-the-day, without machinery. I have a feeling I will be in great shape after the month of May is over. I just started this past weekend and already logged 11,000 steps on Saturday and 19,000 steps on Sunday. I'll have to have Fr. Garry out to bless my garden and hear my confession because I have missed mass and am not resting on Sunday! But he sure will enjoy the eats!
Asparagus is sprouting and I picked 5 lbs of kale yesterday to rotate the Kale box to peas for the spring. Already the chickens are delighted with the fresh dug dirt and keep scratching up my planted peas.
Peekachoo, our peacock and the peacock from next door, who is not a full Indigo Blue male, so we call him Carbon Copy, had a fluffing contest which went on for about 30 minutes yesterday afternoon. It was no contest really, but you couldn't tell Carbon Copy that. He was not admitting defeat!
Peekachoo has really grown into a gorgeous male with a six foot tail of iridescent color.
