I had help again this week for weed control. We started in on the new pasture where there is a big patch of Mullein. Two of us working with shovels for 2 hours made excellent progress. There are still some left, but I should be able to pick away at them over the summer and get them before they go to seed.
The garden is starting to produce- we tasted the first raspberry of the year, and the old cherry tree is loaded with more cherries than I have seen in the 6 years I have been here. They are all plump and red and no worms! We don't spray or treat in any way, so this is somewhat of a miracle. I have picked about 12 lbs so far- made clafouti with the first batch, and pitted and froze the rest for future use. |
Finally got around to making some more dog treats. We use the livers of the lambs that we butcher, and have a simple recipe that uses whole eggs (including shells), cottage cheese and whole wheat flour. The dogs go crazy over it, but are rationed to one a day. Even so, with 4 dogs, we go through a lot of them. |
