My Dad busy watering the garden

This week has been very HOT here. It has been almost 90 every day. My Dad has been helping keep the garden watered. We have 24 tomato plants, 11 hot pepper plants, 11 green and sweet red pepper plants, potatoes, onions, beets, wax beans, green beans, spinach, one pumpkin, one squash and a couple different kinds of lettuce. It will be great to start harvesting!
We finally had rain yesterday afternoon and evening so we had a break from all the watering. We've been watering twice a day to be sure the small plants and the seeds won't dry up.
We have a smaller garden this year. We didn't get it all tilled up, so I'm trying to take back a little of the sides all around the garden a little at a time. I'm working on the first section today and will post a picture of it before and after when I get it done. I will finally have an herb garden! I had a place in the front of the house, but since we have a male dog who likes to "water" everything I decided to put it in the main garden area that is fenced so he can't help with the watering! I want to use my herbs!

Holly had twins on Friday

Our second doe had twin doelings on Friday morning. They had just been born when I went to the barn shortly after six that morning. It was nice that everything went smoothly for these births.

We have one more doe to go. It will be any day now.

Hannah is the little black doeling and Heidi is the grey/black/white one. We are sure getting different color ones this year. Black seems to be dominant. The Momma goats and the Billy goat are brown/white with little bits of black, so the black color surprised us. We think they are gorgeous!
