Welcome to the world!


Yes!! The first of Five baby Goslings to hatch...

Backside out...

Starting to break the shell!

Goslings hatching now!

Four have successfully hatched from their shells.
Isis and Zulu have been sitting on eggs for over a month under the dryer vent by the house. The goslings started to peck out of their shells started hatching right after the Full moon on the 27th. Of course the cats were EXTREMELY interested. Our feed store suggested that the goslings would have a better chance of survival if we raised them protected because of the various predators in the area ( racoons, opossums, cats, snakes, etc.) so we have them under a brood light. Our dog has been acting as Midwife.. truly. He lets us know when they are coming out of their shells. Nature is amazing. Photos will be posted soon.

From a grass lawn to a Vegetable garden.. Get Growing!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.. Been very, very busy.
I have been documenting the lush Spring garden blooms and happenings and will hopefully post them later this weekend. Hope that you are planting something today in YOUR garden!! lettuce and bush beans and tomatoes are great things to start with!
Check with your local Feed store, County Agent and Agricultural center about w3hat grows best where you are. Start small with a kitchen herb garden, or flowers. Turn your front yard or back yard lawn into your grocery garden...
Do you eat grass?? NO? then Why are you growing it???
