East Raised Bed #2 - Spring 2011


Organic Gardening and Crop Rotation

Crop rotation is the most necessary need for crops to yeild year after year.

1. Pests
2. Allows nutrients to replenish themselves.
3. Plant Disease

This season I have transplated the 'Valentine' Salad Mix from BotanicalInterest. Am using the end of the bed as a seed starting bed. I have moved my pepper plants around the bed for more morning sun and better function of the dead space between the raised bed and the wall.

Ol' Red Bess Lays the BLUE EGG!!!!

 EGGs!

I thought my White Americana gave me the blue egg. So today when I got home - no eggs in the lay boxes - I let the chickens out but Ol' Red just chills in the cage, then she jumps into the box. When she comes out I go check. There it was the blue egg! Still warm, having just been laid. So i cracked it right there straight into my mouth, DELICIOUS!! Just kidding.
So right now I get 4 distinctly different eggs. BLUE. GREEN. BIG BROWN. And little brown or PINK, however I think there are two small pink layers. Yesterday, was my first 5 EGG DAY(2 blues)!!!
