Double Header: Garden Notes and Baby Goats
I reckon I’d better start with the baby goats. 
Of my two pregnant does, Saluda was first. Last Wednesday she wasn’t behaving like herself, so I penned her up before lunch. It was a good thing because right after lunch Dan went out while I did the dishes. He was back in a couple of minutes to tell me the first one was already on the ground. The second (the little doe) was out about 15 minutes after I got there.

These are Saluda’s first and she took right to mothering.

| The greenhouse gets quite warm on mild days, so the only things I’ve got in it now are tomato seedlings & bolting lettuce. |
 |
| My potted kale, collards, and new lettuce have been moved outside where they don’t mind light frost but don’t like how warm the greenhouse gets. |
 |
| My fall lettuce is bolting, but I planted new containers of mixed lettuces which are thriving. |
 |
| Also left in the greenhouse is my 2-year-old broccoli plant. It still produces enough broccoli bites for salads, plus I’ll save some seed. |
 |
| In the garden, the mustard in the kale & collards bed is flowering. |
 |
| Sugar peas and garlic. |
 |
| In the foreground is our hugelkultur mound. It’s loaded with clover, daffodils, chicory, and Egyptian walking onions. Behind to the right is our wheat patch. |
