We've planted several garden spots over the last couple weeks, here is Sophia helping out with the planting of the biggest plot.
Kole spends lots of time in this backpack, on the day I was working the most, he finally gave up and fell asleep in it, which was good cause then I could lay him down and be able to actually bend over and plant seeds.
Ari helped out a little too.
Whenever we found grubs in the garden Xander would dig them up and then take them to the Chickens for a delightful snack. Matthew Cuthbert would be proud.
Here are the Chickens Grandma and Grandpa got the kids, they have grown full size now and enjoy their little home.
We got two adult Guinea fowl recently, which will soon free range in our yard to eat up all our ticks. We hope to also be getting some baby guineas to raise. One of our guineas has started laying eggs, so we've gotten to eat some guinea eggs!
We also got 25 baby chicks several weeks ago to add to our little flock. We will keep some hens for laying eggs and the rest...well, lets just say I told the kids they can only name them if they name them things like Chicken Nugget, Chicken Noodle Soup, Fried Chicken, etc. :)
Our fruit trees are starting to grow too, we have several apple trees that have babies on them.
and a couple peach, we have some others that are too young to produce yet.
The littles got to help me water our green bean section, any chance to play in the hose!
The kids planted a sunflower forest, which is starting to grow, the sunflowers are several inches tall now, soon they should be over 6 feet!
We have an herb garden that is sprouting, and lots of veggies going, oh and TONS of blackberries which will be ready next month.
Lots of fun produce going on around here!

WOW!!! Good looking garden. Not to mention the workers. Glad to see the garden workers hard at it. They will realize garden does not come easy, but will reap the prize. Even Nikolas had a job.. hee hee
That is so fabulous! I love it all. That new garden is huge! What goes in there? ARe the neighbor horses still a threat, or gone?s
the new garden is really long, there is also another one that's pretty big by the chicken coup, and we have green beans planted all along the fence to the back yard, so they can grow up the fence.
There are tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, yellow squash, zucchini, watermelon, cantaloupe, cauliflower, broccoli, pumpkins, corn, green beans onions, plus the herb garden.
The neighbors picked up their horses the day after the cops came :)
