Old McDonald had a farm....

Well we aren't old McDonald, but we are on our a way to a farm, lol! The kids lost their rabbit last year so early this spring they asked if they could get a new one. Here is our new pet rabbit, which the kids have named Lucky:

Then a few weeks after getting the rabbit the kids begged for some chickens. They want to gather fresh eggs, but this is a project as it takes 16-20 weeks before they will be big enough to lay eggs, but here we go. The kids putting the new baby chicks into the hutch:

Here are 5 of them, we got 6 total

This was from back in April, they have already grown a lot. Will need to get some new pictures of them. The kids still love having them and are taking care of them.

This spring we also planted some citrus trees like an Orlando Tangelo:

Variegated Lemon ( when ready the inside is kind of pinkish, how you get pink lemonade):

A Mexican Lime:

and we also planted an Imperial Lemon.

Dylan wanted a blackberry vine so we planted that and some strawberry plants:

This year we kept our garden a little smaller than years past, we planted cherry, Roma and better boy tomatoes. Bell peppers, jalapeno, banana, and cayenne peppers. Also planted some cilantro, pickling cucumbers, okra, yellow squash and zucchini squash. Here is a shot early on, but the weeds were starting to take over:

But it's doing great. Here are the first things we were able to pick, cayenne peppers, a cherry tomato and banana peppers:

That picture was early on, now pretty much everything is producing and we are enjoying the fruit (well vegetables) of our labor.
