The Building Has Started





Greetings!  So far we have five chickens in our chicken run.  They are currently staying in our old chicken coop (which sold BTW!! Praise the Lord!).  They should start laying in a few months.  Canot wait!  Our new chicks are still growing in their eggs somewhere in the USA.  They will be here in two weeks!  Cannot wait to see their little fuzzy selves. We should have a total of 15 chickens all together by the time March starts. 



Working on the chicken coop floor.
My Beloved husband and his Mom have started work on the chicken coop.  As of today, they officially have three walls up and the roof. So proud of them! 



Putting up the framing.

all four walls of the framing is up! 




The coop at night....

I've been working on the garden as well.  I have all my boxes filled with dirt.  My neighbor gave us some wood for free, so I will be able to build some more boxes!  Bring on the herbs!  My goal is to have over 25 herbs this year.  I'm also going to grow tomatoes, sugar peas, peppers, and cucumbers.  In one of the boxes, where I had some old compost, an onion started to grow, so I guess I'll have an onion too.  In the back corner where the white trellis is, there is a Mayhaw. Hopefully this will all come together.

Any suggestions on how to get rid of and prevent fire ants in the garden boxes?
