Pittsburgh Backyard Farmings
Weekly Update 5/29/13
We hope everyone had a great safe holiday weekend! The weather couldn't have been any better here in SWPA! As I type this I am enjoying our first harvest from the strawberry patch!
Remember to be sure all your farm animals have cool fresh water and shade in this hot humid weather, humidity is a chickens worst enemy. Our girls got some nice cold watermelon as their treat and they were loving it!
- We finally planted out sweet potato slips! They seem like they are loving this heat and rain!
- We had the opportunity to finally meet one of fans!
- The daycare Ashley works at is going to be starting an egg incubation project!
- We've been busy cleaning up the yard/porch for my sisters graduation party.
