Barncast 156 — Garden Planning

Filed under: Podcast, Animals, Garden — andrew at 9:57 pm on Sunday, February 8, 2009

This week we start looking at what our plans are for the garden this year. We look back at the last few years, what worked, and what didn’t work in our garden. Tell us your thoughts at 206-202-GOAT.

We have some bad news this week, Cream the goat and Boots the cat passed away. She was 12 which is doing well for a girl that’s had ~25 kids, 12 for us alone. These are pictures of Cream and boots.
