Death Rays and Moving Day

Finally out of our contract with AT&T and got directTV and satellite internet for less than the price we were paying for just the internet.

They're big and kinda tacky as hell, but I love my death ray machines.  (Rob likes them too)


 This first picture is where I scattered the seeds I saved from the lettuce mix I had in St. Louis.  I am very pleased to see it coming up so well.  I think the plant on the left hand side might be a left over volunteer leaf lettuce, but I'm not sure.

 The peas are making great progress too.  I hope to get the other three beds planted this week with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and whatever else I can think of.
Miss Bun had her babies and they are doing great.  I have started seeing them out and about more and more.  Most of the ones I have seen look like her, but Rob says he has seen one that looks more like a wild rabbit.

 The 3 pullets I got are settling in.  They are very cute and like the little makeshift roost I put in for them.  I hope next month I can let them out to free range a little more and let the bigger chickens get to know them without a fence between them.


I cleaned up the garage some more.  As I prepared the big brooder for the turkeys for their moving day.  The mice appreciated the bag of sunflower seeds I had, thankfully that was just a small amount of the 50 pound bag.


I watered the orchard and dusted it with diatomaceous earth.  Something has eaten all the leaves off of two of the trees, but they are coming back.  I also put some more chicken wire along the fence to keep the rabbits out.  As cute as they are, the buggers eat the leaves off my fruit plants.

I am getting to the point of wanting to try and sell my eggs and milk to a more open market than just people at Rob's work.  I will be have vegetables and fruit soon that can help our income.  So if anyone reading this that is near Union, MO wants to contact me about getting some food, please do so.
