Planting time is here !

Spring time, time to start planting anything and everything.

We just got done putting in a few fruit trees. We put them in the back corner of the yard near the neighbors cow fence. Two of each apple, pear, peach, and plum trees. It didnt take as long as we thought it would to plant them, and it should only be a few years until we are able to harvest. It will be wonderfull to have our own and not have to buy them. As long as I can keep the kids in control that is. The little one has a serious apple addiction. :)

The hubby spent the past few evenings while I was at work planting onions and tomatoes. Im thinking 30 tomato plants is alot, but we`ll see. Maybe we can sell what wont fit in the freezer.....

Next up is a long list of groceries he`s got in mind to plant, Okra, potatoes, squash, ect.  I have a feeling a good bit of my free time will be spent working up all this food, but I enjoy it.

I`m excited to see how moving the chicken tractor around the garden before we plant is going to work. So far the soil is darker, and fluffier seeming than the parts we didnt let the chickens on, so we`ll see.

One thing to note though.......apparentley its a bad idea to let the chickens out to roam while your planting. The hubby said he had to chase down a few onion stealing chickens the other evening. Wish I couldve seen that one .
