Summer squash transplants, summer squash doesn't ship well, most of the stuff in the grocery store looks like it fell off the truck. We usually grow and sell quite a bit of summer squash.
Yellow nutsedge is a tough weed to get rid of. Its main method of propagation is through small tubers called nutlets. If that wasn't bad enough it can also spread by rhizomes.
Lettuce is our only vegetable crop at the moment. We've had a cool spring so the season has lasted a little longer.
Rinsing to remove field heat and dirt a good stainless steel sink makes life a lot easier. We sell our lettuce to a couple local restaurants, the food co-op, and a small grocery store.
The future home for the meat birds. They'll have the opportunity to run around outside (if they feel inclined to do so). Meat birds (Cornish rock crosses) are bred to eat and put on weight. They're lethargic compared to egg birds.
One of our hens has been broody lately so I closed off the upper nesting boxes and put one on the floor instead. This way if she hatches some eggs the baby chicks won't fall out.
Here's the latest addition to our poultry collected. We borrowed this rooster from a neighbor so we can hatch more chickens.
