I am very excited to write about our garden that I have created with the kids. we are growing tomatoes, snap peas, green beans, chard (red, yellow and white), kohlrabi, corn, carrots, turnips, beets, radishes, peppers, squash and a few other things I have probably forgotten to mention. This is so exciting because it gets kids to eat the vegetables since they grew them, the bunny also gets some nice delicious vegetables. We picked from the garden in the afternoon and tonight I will make chard sauteed with olive oil, garlic and capers and will add a little balsamic vinager at the end. I will also cut up a few kohlrabi to try raw for snacks before dinner. I can't wait....

Chickens in Micahs Bathroom

We finally built a chicken coop or house as we like to call it and it turned out gorgeous! I ordered chickens at McMurray Hatchery online. We received 1-2 day old chicks last week and have had them in Micah's bathrrom ever since. The chicks need 90-95 degrees the first week and reduce each week thereafter. I can't wait to get them into the coop....do you have any idea how loud baby chickens peep? I thought my kids were loud! Here is a few photos of the chicken coop and baby chickens. Enjoy!
