Crown Hill Day 13: Release The Chickens and Call In The Sheep

 Because of rain most of yesterday, I went directly to harvesting beans, tomatoes, squash and onions. I forgot to take a photo though.

Enjoy the release of the chickens video below.

I gave Leo, the working farm dog, a treat this morning.

I took the host's friend to a housesitting gig near Lake Chautauqua.

Crown Hill Day 12: Rain, Weeding, Harvest, etc.

With a 90% chance of rain in the forecast, I looked at radar.

Relief from morning watering!

I harvested beans until rain started.

And finish weed pulling in the hoop house garden.

I dumped the weeds into the sheep paddock. They curious came over.....

but only one took enough interest to take a taste.

In between rain showers, I harvested tomatoes & onions.
