Happy National 🍓Strawberry🍓day! We spent the weekend planting 3 types of strawberries in our new GreenStalk Vertical Gardens planters! Hopefully I will get to have some strawberries this summer before the little ones eat them all 🤪

We are starting to get some green beans from our fall garden plants 🌱 The girls have slowed down laying eggs 🥚 with the weather change and some are molting 🪶 but we still love our snuggles with them.

I’m a little behind posting but…the kids helped plant our Fall container garden last weekend and they were so excited tonight when they saw our green beans sprouting! 🌱 Did you know in Kansas there are many veggies you can plant as late as early August?!? We have green beans, carrots 🥕, beets, broccoli 🥦 , cauliflower and several lettuce 🥬 varieties planted!

It’s a hot Kansas summer night tonight (105*F). We’re out turning the sprinkler on for the chickens, having some chicken snuggles and checking the garden… all while snacking on honey lollies!

Tomatoes don’t normally make it inside at our house. But, while the little tomato monsters are away for the weekend we got quite the haul. I’m sure they will be happy when they get home tomorrow 🤪🍅🪴

It’s been ☀️ toasty ☀️ around here! The kids have been making sure to water the garden with this heat. We got a pretty good haul of eggs and tomatoes today! 🥚 🍅 🪴 💦

These guys like the sprinkler as much as the kiddos do! 💦

Y’all is this not the cutest thing of all time! We got our first pullet egg tonight (egg from one of this years chicks). Some people also call them “fairy eggs” because of how tiny they are. The kids were very excited!
