Fall garden-take 2

We're trying again, but this time we started with plants, no more seeds. We got some peppers (bell and jalapeno), tomotoes and eggplant. I think the boys are really hoping the goats find their way to the eggplant plants. They have bad memories of eggplant pizza when we were doing what the boys considered a two week culinary prison camp, a.k.a. the yeast free, diet for Josiah's skin. The eggplant pizza wasn't that great, but not the worst thing we had to eat during those two weeks that ruined the boys on lots of great foods! Anyway, here's the garden.

Hopefully, this one will work. Our pumpkins are looking a little weak in the front pot. I'm thinking I should transfer them to the ground in the garden. I don't know if they don't like the heat or the sun. Though most of the people reading this blog are enjoying the way autumn is SUPPOSED to feel, we're still enjoying (or not) temps around 90-95 degrees. Any ideas on help for the pumpkins??

The goats are doing well and much to my delight eating tall grass and weeds around. BTW, since these goats are all males, there's no milk. I've decided that's a good thing, because half of the time we don't know where they are and ALL of the time, they STINK!! I wouldn't want to have to sit still and milk one of those stinkpots. (I guess that's when I would/should enlist one of the men from my "army" to do the job!) They (the goats, not the boys) are so goofy as they hang around together. (Actually that statement would be true of the boys as well.) It's sometimes a trick trying to get out of the driveway. If they're in the road, they don't move over, they just run faster down the road. And if I honk the horn, they look back and then run even faster. It adds to the giggles on the farm! :-)

Josiah has soccer tonight and Jeffrey started Monday. J&J have another football game tomorrow night. Stay tuned for updates and pictures!
