Maces garden and other news of the oinking variety

<p>Mace and I started some seeds in a cardboard box 'green house'. The plastic sheeting was doubled and layer over the box lengthwise. Its stapled down on two sides and left unattached on the other for watering.</p>
<p>The gate panel resting on top was to keep the cat from squishing it down. He decided the warmed soil/ plastic made a perfect cat hammock!</p>
<p>There are two new additions to the family! Oliver and Olivia Wilhelm aka the potbellied pigs.</p>
<p>I would have preferred kune kune pigs or a heritage breed but this is what was available to Lover when she purchased them ( on a whim while I was gone!).</p>
<p>The weather has started warming during the day, so the chickens and ducks are really getting their lay on ( no double entendre implied!). I'm getting one duck egg and three chicken eggs a day now. By spring that number will at least double.

  1. Are these pigs for petting or eating?

    1. Well Maxis, that was a topic of great debate. Thankfully, Lover fell in love with the little critters so their purpose here is for sheer enjoyment!

    Thank goodness!!! Dogs and pot bellied pigs are NOT for eating. Now pot pies...that is a different story.
