My farm life

As many of you know I have been using my friend Tammy’s pressure cooker to can some vegetables.   So far I have canned 22 quarts of squash.

Our neighbor gave me a bucket of green beans since mine haven’t come in yet and my 82 year old mother-in-law helped me snap them.

Afterwards, I canned 6 quarts.

Here are some shots of our garden taken this week after it had rained.   Vegetables still have to be picked, even if in the mud.

I also built a contraption for my youngest flock of hens to enjoy. I know hens prefer wood, but these shelf racks are like ladders to these girls. They love them!

Here is my very curious Ameraucana named Alice. Aren’t her little fluffy tuffs cute?

    I love the shelving. You’re right, our slip and slide down their walk board even with the little cleats to grab.

    I love your blog, your garden and your inventive chicken ladders. May I pin some of your photos to Pinterest?

    You have a great blog. I wish I had the room for chickens and a city that allowed them. One day…
