Spinach is ready to be picked. The spinach vine and the regular spinach. I've been picking some regular spinach all along, but now it's ready to be picked, soil ammended and something replanted there.
Swiss Chard is also piling up. I have to pick that too.
This morning as I was turning on the sprinklers I noticed that the green beans have been ripening. I picked about 12 beans and this weekend I should start having some daily.
The spring peas are in too. Snap peas greeted me when I went to the north side of the garden to check out what was happening. I had to did up some more garlic also. Nice huge garlic clustures. Should be enough to last me at least a year.
Steve mowed the back pasture on Sunday, and stacked the hay in the stables out back. We have two stables full of hay. Good thing because I will continue to use it as mulch in the garden and have to clean out the chicken coop once a month now. It takes plenty of hay to fill the coop since it's 10 feet by 20 feet. Plenty of space for our 30 hens and Mr. Rooster.
We were visited again by the goose family. Mom, Dad and two babies spent the day at our pond on Sunday.
