Escrow on the new place is supposed to close Friday! Its a fixer upper, and all I can think about is how to improve the livestock area! There I'd already a chainlink pen for the goats, however it needs a new gate ( which I already have). There's something next to the goat Ben that resembles 2 small hog pens. Those will be the temporary chicken/ duck pens until I can get a coop built.
I'm also trying to plan for a second pen for the Navajo Churro sheep I'll be getting next year. I want a barn. I need a milking parlor and somewhere to store feed.
I want to plant a tree the day we get out keys. I'm thinking maybe a jacaranda?
Wow I'm excited.

i'm so excited for you! Planting a tree is a gret idea! brendan and I planted a wedding tree :-) Jacaranda are so pretty! But messy! Why not some citrus trees or something like that??
ReplyDeletecitrus doesnt do well in the high desert. our summers arent as hot, but our winters often reach freezing. we'd have to have a greenhouse. As for the mess, who cares! its the rural desert and the wind will blow it all away! i know there are several varieties of apple, peaches, apricots, pomegranates , and possible avocados that will do well. i love the wispy branches of jacaranda and chinese elm though .
