More harvest

Things are still looking good... even though the weeds and grasses are a little out of control, that can be expected for the first few years as we try and turn this field into a forest.

You can see the corn coming up in the 3 sisters bed, on the mounds.

The greens and turnips are ROCKING:

Our blueberry bushes have TONS of fruit on them... not ripe yet of course. Apparently this is an unprecedented about of blueberries to be getting in the first year!

The pear tree and its guild is looking LUSH!

12 total... 3 buff orpingtons, 3 americaunas, 3 australorps, and 3 brahmas. I wanted to try the americaunas and the brahama because I have never had those before, and I already know that orpingtons and australorps area really great.
