Well, we have started making Plans. With a capital P. We decided that the first order of business is to get the Piggies to work on the hoophouse/garden so that we (I) can plant some fall/winter vegetables. So Ken is "planning". You have to know Ken to know that is not necessarily a Good Thing. I want a fence around the hoophouse to keep piggies in, he wants a miniature Fort Knox to keep everything else out. What can I say? He's an engineer.
He wants to make a TALL fence to keep the chickens out. It is not that I want chickens IN exactly - but I am not sure that I want to garden inside a 6' chain link fence. I am thinking it will feel like the exercise yard at Riker's. On the other hand, I am not sure we would keep chickens out if the fence were any shorter, and I know from this Spring that any hint of succulent new plants is like a magnet to the Feathered Hordes. Hopefully I won't have too much trouble growing something green and pretty up that fence. Actually, if I can it may be really peaceful in there shut off from the world.
Now I am trying to press-gang my DD Amanda and DSIL Jim to help with the critter moving. If we are lucky we will get the goats and the Dexter, Shay, down to the south field and the sheep up to the north field at the same time as we do the Great Pig March.
