The baby chickens are now big enough to play in the run by day. Eventually we will have a rotating pasture system going for them, but for now we want them close to the house where we can keep an eye on them. We have already lost two (mysteriously vanished). Taz sometimes whines with excitement around the chickens, and a few times he has pawed at the fence, but otherwise he is behaving himself.
The wildflower seed mix we bought is such fun... every day a new flower comes up.
Some of the blueberries have ripened... they are pretty good! They could be sweeter, I think because they are so small. We made fresh chamomile/peppermint tea and it was DELICIOUS. Chamomile has so may uses... it calms the tummy, helps you sleep, and can be used as an anti-fungal (on your feet, on your cloth diapers, on your garden plants...).
Love your project! Found it on permacultureglobal. What kind of wildflower mix are you using? We are needing more seed since we are going to turn our garden fallow for three years before really planting our

We are over in Winston-Salem :)
