New Trellis


I had to take down the old wooden arbor that was in the front yard.  Now that the big tree in the background is dead, a lot more sun is reaching this bed, so I put up a new trellis for cucumbers.  I think they will do quite well here.  I've also planted radishes and carrots underneath the trellis, so hopefully, we will get quite a few veggies from this little spot.

We've also started culling the meat birds.  We harvested 5 of the biggest roosters on Friday, so we have had chicken for dinner the last couple of nights.  Each of the chickens weighed a bit over 5 lbs when ready for the freezer, so they are a great size, and we still have 14 more to go.  Malachi, Gyunay, and Emry were especially excited to get some fried chicken hearts, too.
