Saw this on our morning walk around the big pond. Looks like the fish are hollowing out nests and laying eggs, there were at least 3 or 4 areas just like this around the pond.

Used the single bottom plow and disc harrow to build what will hopefully be a wild flower bed. Using the single bottom plow for such a narrow bed was much more difficult then I thought. Took many passes to get it turned over and then at least 25 passes with the disc harrow to break it down. Wish I had a tiller to really get it broken up, but I didn’t plan for that. In fact what I thought would take an hour at most took about 4 hours and the result looks kinda mediocre in my opinion. The true test will be to see whether the seeds sprout and survive. Planted echinacea, calendula, sun flowers, borage, and a few other flowering plants.





Boy this was a lot of work, 162 bags of mulch in total. Looks great if I do say so myself!


Purchased 24 eggs from the Guinea Farm (http://www.guineafarm.com) and they arrived today. Put them into the incubator and we should have a slew of Keets during the last week of May, 26 total days to hatch is what I’m told.
