Five of the chickens are roosters, so we will be harvesting 2 really soon (probably this weekend?) and another 2 in a week or so. It's been a while since chicken was on my menus, and we will all enjoy a good chicken dinner.
All of the roosters are buff orpingtons. Isn't he handsome?
Today, I cleaned up all of the garlic that I harvested in June and early July. It's been curing in the garage since harvest, so today I trimmed off the stems and roots. It's a good amount of garlic, the most I've ever grown, but not enough for a full year for us. I hope to grow more for next year, but I haven't decided where to plant it yet. I've got some time, though. I don't plant garlic until mid-October.
And finally, we finished painting the outside of the house. It was a family effort, and it looks so great.
I am very pleased with the darker gray color. I'll have to post a picture of the deck later. Nathaniel painted it, too. I haven't got all of the stuff moved back onto it yet, though, since we wanted to wait a week to give it plenty of time to dry thoroughly.
