Hubby also pruned some overgrown apple trees. We have lived here for almost 4 years, and they have always produced LOTS of apples but they are all spotted up from bugs. Any ideas for organic apple tree spray???
Here is my garden and apple trees:
YAY! Now, I am going to be planting potatoes soon.... don't know what else. I will probably plant my lettuce soon too, so I can get at least 2 growings in this year...
Anybody else working on gardens?
The boys also painted their 2 bee hives this weekend. Now they are all ready to set up! We should be getting our order of bees in about 3 weeks or so! I hope we are ready!
Yesterday morning, we had a baby chicken hatch! Remember all of the trouble that we had??? Well, now we have chicks! Only 2 hatch as of last night at 10:30pm, when I went to bed. The rest hatched at various times during the night. Needless to say, I was up and down all night. The incubator is in our unfinished Master Bath... So I could hear them all night! We actually hatched quite a few!
I wanted to show you all what a hatching looked like! So, I took a video of it, and here it is. Don't mind my sleepy voice... I am just... well, SLEEPY!
The video is about 9 minutes:
Amazing, isn't it? In exactly 21 days, an egg goes from the hen- You can eat the egg at this point, and no baby. But, if you so choose, can hatch the egg by placing in an incubator, keeping at a temp of 99.5 degrees, and turning a few times a day. Then at the end of 21 days, one of those baby chicks will pop out! I love it.
Hope you enjoyed it. As of right now, we have 13 chicks. And I think I heard more chirping coming from the incubator... I am thankful for the chicks that we got this time! These will be happy egg layers just like the rest!
