The garden and blooms
I am late getting a lot of plants and seeds in the garden this year. Over this past weekend I finally got my pepper and tomato plants in the ground. The radishes are now got and my lettuces are starting to go to seed, so the chickens are getting a treat every couple days. I am getting a small handful of strawberries every couple days. The new plants are doing great and starting to get a few blooms now. Monday we found 4 kittens and their mama in our old barn. So we are taking care of them for a bit until we can find homes for them. We are going to keep 1 of the kittens. I fell in love with the marking on 1 of them, who is a boy we named Barney. And as soon as he is big enough he will come inside and be neutered. I am hoping he will be a good mouser and will take care of the mice we get in our basement in the winter.
