Chicks and Beans

Yes, it's that time again! Chicken time! That is...time to raise a few more meat birds for our winter meals and time to think seriously about the roosters that are wandering around the yard. Their days are numbered...to about 9 or 10 weeks.

Kiwis and grapes are starting to swell in the garden and it's about time to get more winter veggies in the ground so today we're heading into town to finish pulling up the beans that are finished and plant peas and other cool weather veggies in their places. I'm on the look for some turnip seeds too. The owners of the place where we have our garden have told us we're okay to have it for the rest of the year and into the Spring so now comes our planning for winter meals and we're very grateful!

I promise pictures will be coming soon!

Work is picking up at Nova Appliance so that's good. Still lots of family time. The boys are working on building a boat so I'll have to get more info for you later...but now off to pick beans and re-plant! The weather is now cool so much more pleasant working in the garden! That week of 40 degree weather was killer!

Also heading into town to do some back to school shopping (yuck!)
