Such Pretty Green Things














While not wanting to start into the long list of work waiting on me I decided to take a few quick snaps of those green things in the front bed. I am surprised about the Iris growing because years ago I had to dig them all out because they are harmful to my goats who every once and a while get loose in the front. However this year someone decided to show up where none was expected.


The chives are thriving and going to town. I have used them in many dishes and I guess today I will be giving them a hair cut...


As you can see I have MINT, MINT and MORE MINT!!! Two kinds and I love mint so some cool drinks are on the menu this week...


O.K. enough sneaking away from my work - time to take some Aspirin and give myself a good talking to - work never gets done unless I do it.. First on the list is to fix the black plastic that the chickens so nicely pulled up in the front bed. With 35 acres why do they mess with those things I spend time on trying to make it look like something??? Silly Girls they should have to fix it.

Huh, I didn't know they were bad for goats. Learn something every day :o)

The only herb I'm having luck with right now is basil. My rosemary looks pathetic.

Ana my basil is a mess - not sure what happened there... My rosemary got eaten by two big bull elk that decided to be overly friendly and come to the house.

As for the Iris they are also not good for llama's or sheep. So I figured why run the risk... I love them but anot as much as my animals.
