Double Header: Garden Notes and Baby Goats

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


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.

About an hour old. The gray is a little buck, the brown is a little girl.

One day old
Buckling
Doeling

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

Photos

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.

Pear blossoms

Apple blossoms

That’s it for me. Anything going on in your garden?
