Lots of residents of our little farm moved up to bigger quarters today. We moved the chicks to a bigger brooder, one made from an old metal dog crate, and transplanted lots of plants - about 18 cauliflower, 16 broccoli, 2 eggplant and a pepper or two.
I have been killing aphids on the cabbage and pepper plants. They are tiny green bugs that can be easily smooshed between my fingers and the leaf. Hand-picking insects is a good organic method control that is easy and doesn't cost anything, although it does require time.
Well, I've gotta get up early tomorrow morning - Peter and I are going to Foundation Farm and Little Portion - I can't wait!
I just realized you posted this. I'm not getting email notices about blog updates for some reason. The chicks were so awesome to see-- so cute and lively! And your garden is wonderful. You'll have to teach me so we can be better growers in our little garden!
