Alright everyone I am having a hard time in this short time at home. First as you all know I have been trying really hard to get my garden in. Well when the goats got out last week they ate my broccoli. ALL OF IT!! Then two of them got bloat I guess the broccoli gave them gas. So then I had to give them peptobismol to help their tummies! Well they should not have ate my garden!! Since I have been home I have smashed three fingers on my left hand in the garage door (don't ask how), I pulled off a fingernail on the lawnmower pulling the cord (made for men I got a new on that starts with a KEY). Today my guard dog Lucy got out while I was finally in the garden tilling it up and I had to chase her for 1 1/2 hours!! Then she pulled away and torn the skin off of a already sore finger!! So now I have a guard dog tied up because she will not stay in the pasture with the livestock!!
Happier news I now have 1/3 of the garden in I just took a break to bandage up the finger from Lucy. I also am doing a lot of container gardening as I am afraid it is going to rain again. So I have eggplant, tomatoes, radishes,lettuce, herbs, all in containers. In the garden I have lettuces of many types, spinach, carrots, beets,potatoes, and turnips. I am hunting for good recipes for turnips so if any of you have good ones please share. I want this blog to help us all out on how to use these wonder fresh veggies. Remember that a 42 year old woman, with only one good hand now is planting all of this and it will taste good no matter what we have to do with it. Goats will eat the turnips I know they eat anything I do not want them to. I will have to keep medicine for them ready for their tummies. Well I am heading back outside to get some in before it rains it is getting dark out!! Lori
