Chicks Day Out

Buff Orpington chicks

Well here are the chicks, enjoying some time outside in the green house. They had great fun running around eating bugs, worms, bits of chickweed.

Then they took a dust bath and later settled down behind some pots for a nap.

While the chicks were playing I took down the plastic that was shredded in the storm the other day. It's warm enough I don't really need it. It's looking a bit bare since I pulled the Dwarf Grey Sugar peas out. I also took out two large pots of lettuce that were getting bitter.

You can see the chunk of concrete wall  laying on it's side that got pushed over a couple years ago while taking out an old tree stump. It's just too big and heavy to move so I'm just working around it for right now.

So what I'm probably going to do is just build up a rock wall between the chunk of concrete and the wood framed bed on the other end and make another planting bed here. Maybe I'll plant some more cantaloupe in it.
