Spring has Sprung

Welcome to the first ever Bumgardner Farm blog! I'm so excited about everything that is going on this year! We have 7 baby chicks that we are raising. I believe they are called Dominiques or around here they are Dominickers. The chicks are absolutely adorable! This week they are getting a little more brave as they will eat out of our hands! Every now and then we get bitten a little but it's not too bad...yet. We spent the morning working on their home. They have about another 1-2 weeks in the garage before moving outside.

Here are 6 of the widdys

In addition to our chicks, we have 2 gardens. In our small garden, it's 16'x70', we are going to plant corn. I purchased the Silver Queen variety. In our large garden which is 35'x100' we are going to have spinach, squash, cucumbers, green beans, and lots of potatos. This is the first year I've tended a garden since I helped my mother as a child. Looking forward to all the adventures small farming has to offer!
