splitting the pasture

This week we split the pasture for the goats in half. This will allow us to rotate pasture and/or split the goats up into three groups if needed. The gate is also going to have new fencing put on it but the rains came in before we could get it done today.

This weekend we will begin the earth bag goat shed in the lower half of the pasture and get the tobacco in the ground, finally. We could have done it this morning as well but with the threat of violent weather, yet again, we decided to wait until after the rains passed. Though we only had some small hail and rains, some areas of the county had baseball sized hail. Praise be we did not have that here.

garden walk about



It is very dry here so although things are growing and doing quite well anything new planted has not sprouted and things are growing slowly. I, however, am not complaining since we have it better than most of the country right now.
