This morning while strolling through what is left of our warm season garden space, I was intrigued by the small lace globes filled with seeds scattered on the ground. These are the tomatillos that did not make it into our salsa. This was our first year growing (and eating) these, so this was an interesting surprise. Meanwhile, back at the farm while tending to the girls, I noticed two of the sows seemed to be getting milk, meaning piglets around the corner! Another highlight was finding out that Kid-pig is a morning glory assassin! He pulls up the roots and shows no mercy, good boy Kid-pig.
Hey Joel,
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Julie Kintzi and Ken Ray, and they forwarded a link to your blog. The pigs are entertaining, and you're doing a great job documenting them with anecdotes.
Good luck, and I look forward to reading more. As a city boy who has always enjoyed the thought of turning into a farmer, I commend your boldness in making the move!
Thanks Christopher! It makes me feel less crazy to know folks are interested in the same things that I am doing despite my better judgement :)
