| A small sample of the pumpkin stocks |
A few months ago, after many hours of picking, there were several hundred pumpkins at the Farm.
It was hard to imagine how we were ever going to move all of them. But, by various means, they have all been purchased, gifted - even sold as artworks!

| Where have all the pumpkins gone? |
On the day the pumpkins left, the first rooster arrived! A teenager (at 12 weeks old) named Malvolio Amarooster (
Rusty for short) he spent the morning familiarising himself with his new home, his new harem and testing out his vocal cords. I have to say Rusty's
Cockdoodle doo! was a little bit tentative and unpredictable...
 |
| Rusty takes stock of his surroundings |
...but after all, he
is a teenager. Guess his voice is breaking. We all called out encouragingly
Go Rusty! when he attempted another feeble crow.

| Guess I'll get the hang of it soon... |
thanks that was quite entertaining :)
ReplyDeletereminds me of my own gardening and attempts at raising chickens
my son and i once got a dozen baby chicks to raise and they all turned out to be roosters ! :)))))))))
we ended up trading them to the amish for baked goods at the end of summer, we were vegetarians and couldn't eat our pets anyway :)
luv the rooster's name ........pics from farm look good too....
