Barncast 59 — A Little Broody

2007/03/25 in Ducks, Garden, Podcast by andrew | 18 comments

Welcome to another show! It’s spring time, so if you were worried there wouldn’t be enough to talk about, stop worrying! The round up section this week takes a while to go through, but I think you’ll find we talk a bit more in depth about some things. Maybe it’ll give you to start your seedlings if you haven’t already! In the show:

Thank you to Tom and flies!
Two great farm phone questions! 206-202-GOAT is the number to call
Round up! From Kids to the garden to bees we cover a lot of things
Farm Section: Brood boxes and starting day old birds

We love your calls to the Farm Phone at 206-202-GOAT, or you can email us at gfl@geekfarmlife.com!
