It is getting a bit colder in Atlanta. The garden was planted with garlic (first time and so pumped!), Lettuce, Winter squash (but I just killed them with frost), parsnips, kale, and a bunch of other greens. As normal my garden is moving slowly. I have a plan to move three trees and use those for mushrooms before summer. I believe I need more sun. I have a master plan to work on the soil this fall / winter. I am adding a bunch of Azomite, humus and other back yard chicken pooo mixed with compost, plus my bear feet spreading my vibe. The garden is siting with a bunch of leafs in the inside rows helping out as well. Pictures will come this weekend.
The laying yard is growing and getting more organized. I have great ideas to maximize my mushroom output. I have a bunch of shiitakes fruiting right now and some oysters getting ready to pop. This is why it is nice to have a cold weather mushroom. Also the new heavy duty sprinkler system is working really well. I almost have it dialed in 100% a bit more tweaking.
And finally my babies are really slow this fall. Once we hit the DST the girls stop or should say really slow down laying. Yesterday I got a big ole ZERO EGGS! Ugh! The debate in my head is to get more next spring or to wait? My big girls are almost 2 years old. OBTW… my chicken friend Dr. E is hatching some Turkeys…. Should I get two for next Turkey day? Really, really thinking about it. Thougts…..
Keep on growing.
Turkey becomes "pet". Howard kills turkey. Howard is mean. I recommend reading the Berenstain Bears Give Thanks before buying a gobbler that you intent to harvest for the big meal.
