Woo Hoo . . . spring is here

I have been busy with other things and I have not been posting. Shame on me. I have some tomatoes started, I will buy some early girls and better boys later.

I started getting the site ready. I moved the tarp and the weeds are really bad. I don't want to mow back there as there is wood and rocks that are hard to see. So I am using an alternative mowing method.

Mazie:
Lily
Cheyenne:
Unfortunately they like all animals, quick changes in their diet is not good for their tummy so they each went out in pairs for 30 min. I'll do the same thing tomorrow and hopefully for the rest of the week I can get this area trimmed down. I have to put the bales out by May 1 so I can water for 10 days before I start planting. Planting date here is Wisconsin is usually May 15.

The fertilizers

I don't understand buying fertilizer. Just doesn't make sense to me, not with so many fertilizer produces here. I prefer to use what I have. So here are some of my fertilizer producers:



Here is Abby. She is an 8 year old percheron cross mare. She is 16.1 hh and about 1500 lbs. She produces a lot of manure.




Ike and Madison. These two are miniature horses. They don't do as well as Abby, but they do the best they can.









Cheyenne is my representative of the goat herd. She is a pygmy goat, all her herd mates are Nigerians.












And the flock that is on bug patrol., Well not in this photo obviously but will be come spring.
