And the garden starts, finally!

I think the fear of frost is finally gone. And it's May 29.

ANYWAY.

Steve went and rented a sod cutter so we could get started on the garden. My plants in the basement are about to outgrow their area and it's getting to be a pain. I feel like if I don't move them soon, they will start to suffer.

I have to make sure I keep enough space around each plant and to give myself space to get in there and weed, water and take care of them.

I also want to have a chicken run that will go around the perimeter of the garden, so the chickens can make their way around the outside of the garden (like a maze) and eat up bugs and whatnot. Plus, their poop can fertilize the ground over there!



Ruple Farms - garden
we cleared an estimated 30ft x 14ft area

We had maybe 5 loads of this? All of this sod was filled with yummy worms and 
grubs so we threw it all over the fence and let them go at it.

Our little, cute tiller was just not big enough for the job, so we rented one of these guys.

Getting there

Ruple Farms - Legacy's Mr. Mister
He's so tired from the weekend

Ruple Farms - Bella Dog
Spent the whole morning outside. (then the whole afternoon inside. Sigh. 
Still getting her used to this life!)

Ruple Farms - chickens - flock block
Got them a Flock Block - filled with worms, seeds, grains, corn, dried fruit, etc. 



Aunt Jennifer and Rob came over for dinner. It was gorgeous out! Such a nice visit.
