another week

So this past week, we have gotten alot done with the gardens. Both boats are done with a little room left for some purple tomatoes. I got both of my raised beds built and all filled in. Trying square foot gardening this time. I have beans, peas, lettuce, sunflowers, watermelon, onions, potatoes and sweet potatoes. I also have peppers and tomatoes I am putting in upside down containers I made myself.
Still have more to do but with building the fence, getting rabbits ready for easter, eggs in the incubator, chicks and chickens on the outside. I think it was a successful week. I will post pics later of my garden. Oh, also going to try sugar cane as well. (Looks Like bamboo to me.)
Well, that's it for now.

All the mamas & E-lop mamas

Oh it has been a full house! We have cages stacked up in the 4th bedroom & in the laundry room full of mamas! We took a few outside back to the barn last night too. Now we have 3 more expecting mamas inside! It has been exciting.

What has not been exciting is the losses with the E-lops. Neither one of the mamas took care of their kits and we have fostered the last few of them out to other mamas this morning. We just have to wait and see how the kits do. It was sad. We just aren't sure why neither mama took care of the babies. Tay (E-lop) had kits before and showed no intrest in them, but this time so did show inttrest, but many of the kits did not make it.

We have had many 1st timers that have done really well though and that is nice to see! The last of the mamas are due tonight! It will be exciting! Well, we may have 1 more here soon too, Tanner will be coming up. She is like a old pro so no worries there.
