What a wonderful time interacting with the children and their parents last Saturday at the C. F. Goodwin Public Library summer reading program.  Both the parents and children said they learned new things about plants and gardening.

This helped to make a connection with last weeks demonstration as we used the vermicompost from last week in this weeks planting.  Participants were able to plant and take home flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

   We began the plant workshop by talking about why people like to garden and the many different places one can get plants for starting a garden.  After sharing a story or two, I did a demonstration on three methods of starting plants in a garden.  We took a couple of minutes here to review the important benefits of vermicomposting to the plants in the garden.

The theme for this year's reading program is Build a Better World.  Our Little Barnyard is proud to be a part of this, as we teach the gardeners of the future!  Last week they learned about worms and composting.  In two weeks they will learn about bees and beekeeping.

Chicks Have Arrived... 1, 2, 3 look what I see!

The first three chicks emerge from under the golden feathers of mama hen.  Being the good hen that she is, she's not going to let me get a look under her to see how many of the 15 eggs have hatched.  This can wait for another day.  As you can tell, the chicks are not yellow like Buff Orpington chicks should be.  These three  are Black Australorp chicks.  Hoping there are some Orpingtons that hatched as well.  I will keep you posted as more chicks should hatch under hen #2 this weekend.  Please, post a photo of your chicks in the comments.  Would love to see them!
