Harvest
This is the harvest from the garden the last 2 days.
I am already looking for new ways to use zuccini, maybe next year I wont grow any for a little break from them.
Spring Garden
My first zucchini is getting bigger! I love this time of year with all the fresh vegetables. I love the fresh, organic produce that comes from our back yard. I still haven’t figured out if its cheaper than getting it from the store, but it is definitely more delicious!

What mountain top expedition would be complete without a little radio action? (check out the antenna mounted in the bed.)

Fodder trial 2
Here we go again. This time I am using 9oz of grain, soaking for 24 hours, and I put a couple drops of bleach in the soak water to try to counteract any mold. I wont put up photos every day. Just the final weight on Monday. Hopefully a longer soak will make a little bit of difference.
End of fodder test
Well, I got 39oz of fodder to my 10oz of barley. Not quite the 8:1 I have heard about, but 4 times isn’t bad for a first run. There are quite a few grains not sprouted, I would say up to 20 percent or more. Maybe a longer soak or a different container would make a difference. For now hopefully the chickens will enjoy it.
I think they do, of course they always run up to me when I go out there, but it looks like they have been eating the barley.
