We still don’t have any lambs, but as you can see, we do have some very round sheep.
This is Desert Weyr Tanwen. She had twins her first year, but only a single last year. I suspect she’s carrying twins again this year due to her size.
I have a very black thumb, but I wanted to try at least a small garden this year. Ken drilled holes in the ends of some leftover Trex railing that I’ll use to lay out some garden beds. My plan is to use it to mark out the beds and drive rebar stakes into the corners. At the end of the season, we can easily take the beds up and use the tractor to cultivate the area.
I got two beds done and planted one with peas (the one in front). The back bed will have corn eventually, but I didn’t want it to shade the peas.
The garden area is behind the new elk fence and is also protected from the orchard by the old elk fence. We may add some side fencing so we can graze sheep in the area while keeping them out of the garden.
The three other types of plants we’re trying are corn, melon, and watermelon.
