Our chickens now listen to WMPG! (Maine community radio) yep, I've got a radio keeping them company now, and hopefully it's scaring off raccoons.
The last week of rain was a little rough on the veggies. It made the slugs come out for a feast and they munched down some of my beans. Grr. I'm trying to get on top of the weeds near the crops to reduce slug habitat. Lots of rain also washes valuable nitrogen out of the sandy soil. This makes for slower growth and smaller plants. I'll be trying to remedy this with fish emulsion!
The first zucchini plants are out in the field, the cukes are soon to follow.
Non sequitur coop move to a more convenient location. No chickens were in the coop at the time.

On another topic:
Parsley. Long relegated to the garnish category. But no more! It's great in lots of things. I feel a song coming on...
To the tune of "What shall we do with a drunken sailor"
What shall we do with a bunch of parsley?
What shall we do with a bunch of parsley?
What shall we do with a bunch of parsley?
