Labor Day

I went out to Amanda's yesterday and we processed a few of the white chickens that have been hanging out there a whiles. They are supposed to be Cornish Cross, but they have never developed much meat on them. The ones we did were "OK" but nowhere near as meaty as they should have been. They are now resting in the refrigerator till Friday, then they will go into the freezer

We did some research on pasture improvement and found out that pasture seeds are very expensive! LOL. We are going to have to suck it up, though, as even expensive pasture seed is not as expensive as bagged feed.

When I got home Ken had plotted out the north triangle area for the fences and the critter shelter. He has dug the holes for the 4x4 posts and now is waiting for me to go get the concrete to set them in. I am beginning to feel hopeful that I will have some sort of garden this fall/winter and a pretty good one next year. I am currently researching companion planting, and planning the beds to incorporate the most supportive rotations.
