I love your spotty ewe!! What's her name? Your new ram is built real nice, he's a handsome fella!
Grats on finally getting that big boy home! I'm sure he'll be feeling right at home in no time with all those nice lady sheep to cover.

She is 26.
It may change but only a few have names. Our #3 lamb is Hoss because he is a hoss. Freckles looks like she has freckles. Notag- didn't have a ear tag and she is also the tamest of all of them but Notag works.- Thread starter

We put up a arnother 8'x12' cattle panel hoop house for the ram and the wethers with him. I don't think he has ever used a shelter of any kind but at least it's available. The wethers will use it to get out of the rain so he might.
We got all of the veggies into the ground that we had started. We wound up with 20 tomato plants, 6 yellow squash, 6 zucchini 6 pepper plants, 20 cucumbers and a token tomatillo for salsa. We still have 3 beds left for various beans and okra then everything else will be row crops in the big garden.

Joyce is still trying to find room for more stuff to plant, but is having the clear grass and weed overgrowth to find it. The dad-burn oak tree shades so much now with its leaves on that over half is in shade.

We added a bunch of peat moss and of course sheep manure but the beds are still hard. We bought an accessory that works like a mantis tiller (only heavier) that we can use on our Stihl weed eater shaft. That helps getting in the beds without having to wrestle with the big tiller. We are growing twice as much as we did last year but since we didn't get here till June we didn't have much time to play in the dirt before it got so hot.

....and with the fencing out of the way, ya will have it producing even better next yr, too. I keep apologizing to Joyce for not helping her, but I can't be in 2 places at the same time...and certainly don't get from spot A to spot B very quickly anymore either....

New gardens take awhile to get going. Keep at it, it will pay off. We are on our 3rd year and it is going to be the best year yet.

We have some really fertile soil but just need to keep adding to it. I have spent most of my life in Florida where you try to make something better than the sand so we are used to it.
