Several of our hens have gone broody with a corresponding reduction in egg production. We are also gathering eggs for a bi-annual Avian Influenza testing. The chicks are adorable but it means we do not currently have eggs for sale. If you are interested in purchasing some chicks, stop by the Powhatan Tractor Supply event on July 13th.
The herb gardens are going well. Oregano and garlic chives are in bloom. The basil is bushing up while the thyme and sages are spreading. Spearmint is running rampant. And we have our first little "giant" pumpkin.
We've had some beautiful visitors to our wildflower gardens. Unfortunately, all of this rain has kept the bees from leaving their hives.
It doesn't look like we'll have tomatoes for the Fourth of July holiday but the bacon is ready and waiting in the freezer for those first BLT sandwiches! Hope you enjoy your celebrations!
