Never A Dull Day!

There is never a dull day here at Exotic Gardening Farms & Wildlife Habitat! Today we got up, went to breakfast and then to Lowe’s to buy some plywood so we could make doors on the barn before winter. I thought that would be simple enough!

Needless to say they had some nice shrubs – privet, honeysuckle, etc. for just $1 each. I bought 15. That should make a nice hedge so the neighbors can stop staring at us when we are in the nut garden! Of course, where to plant the new shrubs was Jerry’s idea!

So, after about two hours, we finally got home and I went about feeding the poultry, goats, horse and rabbits. Jerry set about securing the fence – AGAIN!

The goats somehow still managed to get out and Darla escaped numerous times. One loose spot on the fence and under she goes! I finally got tired of chasing her and secured them back in their room.

I am wondering if the new duck greenhouse is even going to get finished today!

Yes, we bought two more greenhouses this weekend. One is for baby chicks and one is for the ducks. Then we are going to plastic the other house we was building so I can have yet another greenhouse. If we cage the birds at night they cannot get into my plants and they will generate some heat to help keep the plants alive through the winter.

Next on the project list is for Jerry to make doors for the barn. One for the goats, one for the horse, a window for the horse (because there was two doors on her stall) and then he has to rebuild the main door on the barn. After that I am hoping he will be able to re-do the door on the large chicken coop.

Now – when in the heck am I going to find time to get those shrubs planted? Actually I will more than likely let him do that because where they are going is a maze of tree roots. I am hoping that we will have some time this evening, but if not, there is always tomorrow!

Isn’t life on the farm just a bowl of cherries? Which reminds me can you believe my cherry shrubs are blooming and setting fruit? That is only supposed to happen in the spring!

Until tomorrow -
