So how'd all that work out?
I last wrote back in June, so long-lost readers may be wondering how this turned out, if at all. The main story in the garden turned out to be the animals. The chickens, ducks, and eventually rabbits and bees consumed...
Ducks and electric fences
Wow - it's been a long time since I've posted here. It's easier to blog about the planning process in winter, when writing is just kind of an aid to thinking things through, than when you actually need to be...
The incarceration of Darth Duckling
When we realized that we had eleven chickens instead of ten, we joked that all of our problems were the fault of that 11th duckling. As it turns out, we weren't entirely wrong. After the ducklings had been outside a...
Duckling difficulties
When I'm not helping with Sungiva, I'm trying to keep up with our chicks and ducklings. I think I may have overreached in ordering the ducklings. I'd like to blame my problems on the week I lost to the flu...

Somehow, the first set of seeds to arrive came from the furthest place, Territorial, out in Oregon. I don't think any of these were seeds I was planning to start indoors, so they'll just have to be patient, but I...
Ordering things to grow
I managed to order the list of seeds, plus a few extra ones. (I added a few items for a polyculture from Gaia's Garden that I'd forgotten to include.) Total costs came to $21.25 for Territorial (though I added some...
Poultry places
Josh Dolan came by today, with some plans for possible homes (and expansions to homes) for our chickens and eventually rabbits and ducks. This year, it looks like the main things we might do this year are add a second...
