Finished up one bed and started on the last one. Got some tractor time digging up dirt. I'll get more tractor time moving compost tomorrow. I'm tired of this and I want it done. :(

Up fairly early this morning. Had a couple cups of coffee before going outside. Goat is milked and other critters are fed, including the fish. Lotsa things to do. One more cuppa and I'll head back outside before it gets much warmer.

I should finish up adding dirt to one of the raised beds today. It's supposed to be hot - heat index possibly in triple digits. Ugh. One more bed to get filled after that. I'm removing the old collards and will need to figure out what to put there. Maybe sweet potatoes - they thrive in...

Glad you started a thread for him here! I look forward to following his/your journey!

Yikes - sorry ya'll had it so rough!

Why not?!! :idunno A few of us here are goataholics, lol.

Sausage and cabbage last night. Picked up a bunch of salad stuff when shopping this morning so maybe a big ol' salad is in order tonight.

Sounds delicious!!

For years previous to my husband's health issues I had a huge garden, raised goats, pigs, quail and chickens and I worked full-time. I have no idea how I did it then, lol. Now we're retired and I can barely keep up with a few raised beds. Still have the goats, quail, pigs and chickens and a...
