Hey all!
Life has been crazy. I started a new job last August and went back to college. Whew, that was enough to knock me back for while. So now I am working on my Human Relations and Management degree while working full time as the front desk manager. Eventually I will be in charge of salon management as well as marketing and things of the like.
As far as my garden and animals goes....
Last summer I lost about half of my flock of chickens and 3 of my ducks to predators. So far I have only replaced 2 of the chickens I have lost. I have 10 ducklings coming next week as my duck egg 'business' has taken off. Their is a large Vietnamese family about 30min south from me and they have been wanting 10 to 15 dozen eggs at a time! They all keep telling me that they haven't had duck eggs since they immigrated here. I'm happy I can help them with that. As far as my chicken flock goes, I will probably add maybe 5 more and call it good for now.
My garden did pretty well last year. I was not overly impressed with my peppers or my cucumbers but have been stewing up some plans to fix that this year. I only started about half as many tomatoes and peppers as I usually do due to time constraints with my new job and school. I will be transplanting this weekend (hopefully). My garden will be the same size as normal but I won't have as many extra plants to sell to help make up for seeds costs. I hope the duck egg sales will help with that.
Anyways, I hope to be on here more. I've missed you all!
