zukes and squashes I want to grow this year . And the strawberry

is blowin' up and the bees are working it steadily . I'm really
optimistic about the garden this year , it's started out really
well ...

My son has been raising his own veggies from seed for the last
month. So
far, so good!Â* Now all he has to do is clean out the old chicken
coup to
put his new hen chicks in it.

Â*Â* If he's planning on using that chicken litter as fertilizer make
sure
he knows that it must be composted before use . It's really high in
nitrogen and will burn the tender young roots if he uses it straight
from the coop .

The stuff that needs cleaning is old, so it'll go straight into the
beds, more than likely.

That reminds me that I have to sweep out the sheep barn.

I'll be visiting my neighbor's rabbit cages several times tomorrow with
my yard tractor and a small trailer ... some will be mixed into my
compost pile , some will be mixed with the soil when I plant my
seedlings in a few days . None will be wasted .



My son cleaned out the old chicken coup and set aside the stuff he
shoveled up. He finally put his egg layer chicks in the small part of
the coup and they seem happy.

I the process one chick got loose and he hasn't caught it yet. It's
taken refuge under the workshop. Got any ideas how to lure the chick
out and catch it?
