This week we worked on cleaning up the home garden which had more weeds and vegetables that had gone to seed than edible food. It took two full days, but now it looks great, and it is easy to harvest tomatoes. We got the "chicken tractors" that we are borrowing from the neighbor. These are portable 10'x10' pens that the chicks will live in for the rest of their lives. They get moved to new pasture every day, so they will have fresh food and a clean place to live. We also worked on the yurt. We finished the weather stripping and cleaned the area of overgrown weeds and blackberries. We set up the rafters four times, but they were not stable, and the whole roof kept corkscrewing and falling down. It was very annoying. We also helped Beth cut flowers for a person's wedding. We had a really nice weekend, and we camped out with some friends at another farm.
