planting day!

today Anthony and I created 5 new wooden frames for raised beds and I laid out the garden paths around them. It was hard going making the first frame since it was 14 feet long by 3 feet wide and pieced together from scrap wood, but the next four were easier, only 6x3 feet. the garden looks so orderly and beautiful now!

I planted basil, cilantro, oregano, parsley, borage, fennel, dill and radishes in the super long bed, and made one bed just for carrots and another just for lettuce. yippee!!!

now it's bedtime, tomorrow will be another long day of planting, organizing and creating. I also have to make a separate electric fenced area for our 3 new milk goats, who unfortunately have all the manners of a crowed of tourists looking at the Mona Lisa. pushy, bolshy, rude, gigantic creatures with hard heads and shoving noses. when the biggest lady goat (named bubbles) stands on her back legs she's taller than me! I'm a generally peaceful person, but they were so irritating today that I was swearing a blue streak and practically wrestling with them!

Another project is making a bunny tractor out of boards and wire fencing so that my rabbits can get out of their earth yard and enjoy the fresh green grass! they look so bored with their tunnels and their alfalfa pellets.

I got a sun burn yesterday : ) summer's coming!
