School is done... frantic checklist time...

Kids are killing 2 roosters today.

You just have to promise that you will give them a happy home

In the freezer so they won't suffer from the cold of winter.

After one day of hitting 52 or some such we are back to 41-ish.

So nope...nothing is getting planted into the garden. The soil is still icy.

 

[Alaskan]

Ok.... 2 days in a row where the high was over 41.... maybe I will plant tomorrow... at least in the greenhouse...

And maybe peas outside... we shall see

 

[Alaskan]

From Tuesday night.

We actually only have twilight now... not full dark.

Sun rises in the North East, sets in the North west. She just circle, circle, circles.

Lovely, put the first one in for POW

Lovely, put the first one in for POW

Agree with @Bruce , the top picture is real good....

 

[Alaskan]

Well... piggies need their toes trimmed...

I told spouse I wasn't excited about the job, and they didn't look to be growing much, how about a soon slaughter date?

So... it has been agreed,when the bag of feed is gone...

I wanted to get a good picture....

Got this instead.

 

[Alaskan]

Ah... here is one from May 30th... they had gotten out of their pen and kid 4 was leading them back.

How cute! Escaped piggies! I have raised the AGH and while smaller, slower grow out, it was great meat! Kunekune are a little bigger than yours, around here. But another slower, smaller type. Personally, I'd do another AGH based on results....just not thinking I want the rooting right now. I keep checking ads. Maybe.

Yeah, butcher rather than trim. Lard is good!
