Well it's been another busy week here, I have a chicken update, some more plants have started bloming here, my cabbage crop is shredded, and I found some neat fungi.
Here's my girl Red 2, she has now made it a week since I had to cut an egg out of her, she is eating, and foraging, but she still spends most of the day resting, and hanging out by herself. The other girls are all hanging out together and don't even seem to notice her. I'm still optimistic, but her size has diminished considerably, she is now much smaller than the rest of the girls, she used to be alot bigger than all but one of the girls (Red 1) hence the name Red 2.
This is my favorite time of year, Why? More bustin out.
Sunshine Blue Blueberry bustin out.
Florida Prince Almond bustin out.
Desert Gold Peach bustin out.
Dorset Golden Applee bustin out.
Here's my first cabbage head of the year, it's 3 times as big as store bought cabbage and taste 10 times better, but the recent rains made it split(to much water makes cabbage split), splitting is fine except you can't store the heads as long, when they're split, and if you're growing heads for St. Patties Day they won't make it a month in the fridge. My cabbage crop this year only produced 3 good heads out of 6 transplants. No big deal there's still plenty of cabbage for everybody, until today, when I went outside and found another head split, (dammit). So now we have to eat cabbage for another week,(no big deal here comes a cabbage roll recipe) our corned beef and cabbage is starting to look pretty weak with only 1 cabbage head left.
Finally some Slime Mold
Actually this is called dog vomit, you can see why, this patch of dog vomit showed up in my sheet mulching project. It's a great sign it means of soil decomposers (fungi). They have shown up and are doing there job(decomposing) . Soil building 101, it's amazing. This is soil being built out of newspaper and rabbit poop, all free.
What dog vomit looks like before it turns into dog vomit, AWESOME!!!
