Hate it when I forget to grab my harvesting basket…but this plant flat worked in a pinch!

Grow babies grow! A few new varieties in the garden this year…Rainbow Swiss Chard, Early Dutch Cabbage (which I started too late 😂), a Purple Pole Bean, and Bright Bikini Mix Strawflowers :-)

I’m pretty sure everyone should have chickens.

Just being a human roosting bar this morning, no big deal.

I have to brag on our Maverick Boy for a moment. I let our 9 babies all out to free range for a while this evening (have started doing an hour or two if we’re home in the evening). Little Tilly got separated from the flock in the woods and ferns, and was peeping loudly. (I was sitting there watching her, so wasn’t really a problem) Maverick ran faster than I’ve ever seen him go, hopping up and over the ferns and came back to her and ran with her back to the flock! Not bad for 3 months old 😳

Photo of Maverick…isn’t he the best boy? He is a Barnevelder Cockerel from Hudson Homestead & Hatchery in Wayland, and so far he is showing amazing instincts! He also really likes to perch on my shoes when I sit in the run with all of the babies 😂
