Starting Planting In The Garden And Some Roaming Time For Some Of The Livestock

Didn't do anything majorly exciting today. Planted some bell pepper seedlings into a garden bed. Put some pvc pipes for hoops and put a blanket over it so they didn't get scalded by the sun. I had to weigh down the corners to keep the wind from blowing the blanket off.



I also let the pigs into the sheep area and they seem to have behaved themselves. When we first got the sheep, the pigs would chase the sheep away from the feeder. But I'm wondering if they're used to them now. I still put them back into their own area for bedtime though. Not sure if I'll let them in the sheep area often. Everything's just starting to dry out but still wet in some areas so the pigs are still pretty much digging everything up that they can. Maybe once the grass starts growing more and they have more to graze, then I can let them back in their more.

Some bees were visiting my friends beehive today. Not sure if they were checking it out as a future home or if they were just trying to get at the honey. I guess we'll see if anybody moves in. I really hope I can catch a swarm or two since I can't afford to buy more this year.


I also let the bunnies out into their pen today. I didn't take a picture because they were mostly just hiding under their cages. Also not sure if the male mated either of the females. But I'll probably let them out tomorrow too so he'll have plenty of chances. Of course, I still put them in their cages at night for safety's sake.
