Lizzie's Garden

June has been a real learning experience for me growing corn, learning how to take care of new turkey poults, and increasing my superpower of patience. 

In the Spring, dry weather impacted our herb growth. Thankfully, herbs are resilient and they have all bounced back!  But growing corn has been a different experience. Corn earworms, a common pest, have ended up killing our entire crop. However, we will try again next Spring with optimism!   

We received a rafter of Bourbon Red poults (young turkeys) and we’re faced with turkey housing challenges. Bourbon Red turkeys are a late 19th century heritage turkey breed. They are known for their excellent meat flavor and bred to be disease resistant and lay larger eggs.
