Today on Windmill Hill

Tommy plowing the cover crop yesterday.....

This morning, Tommy repaired the nesting boxes in the chicken tractor because so many hens are laying eggs that we were running short of setting spaces. We are getting about 20 eggs per day and we sure can't eat all of that, so I sell them. I cleaned up the bee equipment while Tommy moved firewood into the shed for the summer. I spent the last half of the morning roughing up the dirt in the herb bed and the potato bed so the tiny weeds wouldn't take hold.

This afternoon, I finished transplanting the broccoli, mulched them all with compost and ran the irrigation. Next, I started excavating #12 bed for the carrot planting. In the middle of that, Daingerfield came over to borrow the turn plow. We had to strap it onto the tractor scoop and lift it into bed of his pick-up truck....whew, dodgey! I took him over to Pat Cart's property (which we almost own now) for a tour. After he left I sat down in the strawberry bed and weeded until 5:30 when my stomach started growling. Productive day!
