Our Lady's Windy Acres

Moving right along...sort of

Well....we're sort of moving along. My peas have come up, I think my butterhead lettuce is also, but I'm concerned because I've seen no sign, and I mean no sign, of my spuds (potatoes to you non-Irish folk out there) or my first crop of carrots.  Most of my seedlings (tomatoes, peppers and cantaloupe) in the house aren't doing well - very leggy and anemic looking, and I'm not sure why. Sigh.  I have 14 of my 16 Buff Orpington's bopping right along, but I wish they'd feather out because I'm so so tired of cleaning up after them! Ick! LOL!! When you think about it, chickens are a lot like kids - the bigger they get the bigger their messes get, and the worse they get at cleaning after themselves!

Anyway, I think I'm going to invest in some fruit trees that are on sale through a catalog I have, and work on expanding the orchard.

I keep getting a feeling that something big is coming down the pike. I don't know what it is, I just know "IT" is coming and it isn't good.  I keep feeling that we need to get sorted out, get more self-sufficient and more prayerful.

We are planting our tomatos this weekend and Brocoli. I have yet to plant carrots as they didnt do that well last year I have been considering not bothering with them. I do hope our beans do better tho. I planted the seeds but no sign of them yet. I hope you are mistaken about needing to be self sufficent tho, cause we will not ever manage it I'm afraid.
