Well, the week of full time farming is quickly coming to a close. Someday I hope I can do this full time - it's what I work all my other jobs for. Today we continued with the construction of The Chicken Mansion or Le Manoir de Poulet (Fran was wondering what it would be in French). Yesterday and today saw the remainder of the windows put in, two on one side, one on the other. And on those windows on the outside, we placed heavy duty wire over them so our friends the racoon and weasel could not rip through to the girls. We also finished the floor, and George got most of the garage door in. This will be the chicken's entry to the pastures, which we are in the process of now reallocating and fencing in.
Silver and Thomas were able to make it over today after two days of setting tobacco with Johnathan. Silver and Thomas had laid in the new posts and today got on them the first line of chicken wire fencing. We then moved into the tomato fields to get started stringing the second line of tomato twine to hold the very fast growing plants up. I watered on Tuesday, using for the first time our fertilizer - a new one for me: Organica Plant Booster.

It soon rolled over, and they got about 4 rows of the 12 completed today. If they cannot make it tomorrow, I will have to do it myself, as these plants need the support.
