I haven’t posted a homestead update in awhile, with the exception of the Weekly Chicken Gazette.
Mainly because there is not much going on in the garden and we periodically work on the “shed.” That will be revealed this coming Spring.
My friend David and I decided to go to a local horse farm and get a load of perfectly aged horse manure for the yard and the spring garden. The entire load was only $25.00! We are also going to totally redo the garden situation.
Going down to steps to begin spreading the manure, notice Sweetpea sunning herself under the wheelbarrow
There it is so rich and ready to spread
I began by dumping 6 wheelbarrows full and began to spread the original mulch pile from last year
The girls were happy to assist with the mulch pile
The manure is much darker then the mulch pile I started
I took a break after a couple of hours to wander over to the blooming Camelias. I have a dozen or so of mature plants in different colors. This one bloomed first.
Many of you know my Boxer dog “Lola”, here is Boadie the Calico an Barney the old orange kitty sunning on a perfect day!
