Chickens and The Garden

It feels like just yesterday we had these adorable little chicks living in our garage and now they're all grown up...hehee...there seems to be a theme at the Langlois house.

 

5 weeks ago they were just two days old and so fluffy and cute :)



Here they are a little bigger just beginning to get feathers (about 1 week old)



Now they are living outside and loving their new chicken run!



Sophie is very curious, but has yet to make a move. Give the chickens a few more weeks and she will be running from them.



Rick and J building the chicken run


It's garden time-yay! It's been so fun being out in the garden with Noah. We have pretty much everything planted and it's all looking good.  I'm very excited to use what we grow in our garden in my recipes. Last year at this time I was overwhelmed with being a new mommy and wasn't really able to enjoy the garden or cooking. 


Squash, Zucchini, and tomatoes in our half barrels 



More half barrels with herbs and beans



Look at those cute little tomato plants. Soon they will be taking over that area and we will have to make sure we harvest them in time (last year they got a little out of control).



Main garden bed with basil, cucumbers, more zucchini, and peppers (WAY less than last year...remember that picture-ha!) In case you don't here it is:


Wowzers :) We got ourselves, scratch that, Justin got himself under control this year :)



Sorry this picture is out of order, but I'm too lazy to fix it. It's a picture of our chicken coop. We used the side of our house so they have more space to roam and that way we (which really means Justin and his dad) did not have to create more of a fence line. Those boys work hard!!
