i know i know

i owe you guys pictures.
i swear im trying to get them! honest!
there so fast at this age and all over the place, but theyve all grown so much, the older ones look like chickens now and the younger ones are not far behind them.

Unfortunatly i think sammy bird might be a roo, im not sure yet but if thats the case "she" will be looking for a new home as soon as its confirmed, i hope not, i like the australorps :(
its hard to belive the little ones will be 3 weeks old on wednesday, and the bigger ones a month on weds already!

the coop and run are under construction as theyll be ready to go outside soon.
for now though they enjoy digging through the shavings in the pen, eating anything orange, and generally making a mess...
its funny to watch them running around and chest bopping eachother in a show of hierarchy lol.

im hoping by the end of this week to be going to pick up 2 goslings too, but im not yet sure if we want back yard mixes or if we should just say screw it and order from purely! they have the buffs and romans!

in other "farming" news, lowes has (ending today) a sale on all 5" bonnie veggies and herbs, yesterday i picked up 2 "bit bertha" peppers which supposedly are awesome bell peppers, and 6 tomatoe plants of 5 different verieties. well be saving the seeds from the fruits for next years planting, im hoping by then ill have the shed cleaned up and sorted out to use some of that space as a greenhouse/for seed starting.

we also planted the 2 blueberries and 2 raspberries which seem to have taken, and the 2 grape vines that i moved also seem to be doing well. im realy hoping for some fruit from those grapes soon, there a few years old already but never realy flourished where they were.

so thats all for now.

today im going out to scour the nurseries to see whats out there for the flower beds, i did pick up a sorbet peony and an artemisia for the flower beds but need more :)
my grandparents are supposed to be comming out this summer and i want the garen looking spectacular!
