Shorter and Shorter

My blogs are probably going to get shorter in the next few months as I am pretty much single minded on the garden and the chickens.

Today was mostly taken up with Buddy's trip to the vet.  After a long consultation, the vet determined that Buddy has idiopathic epilepsy.  His opinion was to wait and watch and if the seizures get more frequent, longer or more severe, then we will talk medication.  The big thing is that he doesn't have a brain tumor and his blood work did not indicate any other pathology.

After I got home, I got the soy beans weeded and one row of onions weeded and scraped.  I put more tomato cages out and fertilized the peppers and tomatoes as they were looking puny since the soil is really poor (sandy).  I got my fertilizer injector and liquid fertilizer in the mail today and will try to get it installed in the near future.  I'm  not sure where the best place in the system to put it is yet (man, that was REALLY bad grammar).

I didn't get around to walkies today, so no pictures.

I did spend a little time sitting in the brooder pen with MB2 and baybays.  They are growing daily and their wing and tail feathers are in.  One flies up on MB2's back as often as it can and she usually knocks it right off.  I also have noticed that there are SO many birds that come to eat the scratch I leave out for the chickens.

When I first moved here, I put out like three bird feeders and didn't get a SINGLE bird.  Now that I am trying to feed my cockers, they all come around and mooch their food.  I get cardinals, grackles, black birds, wrens, doves and even woodpeckers flying in to steal the scratch.  If I try a feeder again, the only thing I would probably get is squirrels.  Oh well.

That's it for today
