Seed Saving, Fur, & Feathers

9/30/2020

0 Comments

 
The molting continues as evidenced by the feathers everywhere! Sometimes the hens will eat the little ones to help them build all the ones they need to replace but most fill the corners of every hut and run and they get stuck in tufts of grass. It's just feathers floatin on the breeze around here! As soon as they are done and have a full body of fancy new feathers, the laying starts up again, but it takes a few months to get all those feathers fluffed out!

There are more dried bouquets for this week, but the supplies are running low so you'll wanna get one while you can!

And there will be more fall themed wreaths to deck your halls for the season!

There's just two more weeks at Libby, followed by the Fall Bounty Market in Troy on the 16th before the Pop Up / Drop Off begins so you can get the eggs and micros that you need all winter long!

The seed saving continues with the last Poppy pods brought in and more Bachelor Buttons, Pansies, Bee's Friend, and more brought in, ready and waiting for me to separate the seeds from the chaff! At least poppies are super easy, no winnowing required!

Diggin Ranunculus tubers can be a tedious business, luckily Hella was on hand to help! Besides, it's gotta get done since they won't survive in the soil through winter and need to be dried and brought inside!

The dried bouquets return this week! But they are dwindling, so get yours quick!

I finally got out to hike a path that isn't lined with crops or chickens! It was nice to see moss, lichens, and a lot of my favorite woodland plants!

The fur and the feathers fly when they get to have some good-natured game of Tag!

Be careful giving your hens 'table scraps' as they will hunt you down forever for more!

Sometimes it's fun to lay in the sun and wait for tummy rubs!
