If the dirt not thoroughly washed off your veggies, one little egg can give you roundworms.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16924988248364848607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-52980008680341388662012-02-26T22:27:59.231-05:002012-02-26T22:27:59.231-05:00Your pigs look great...so does the garden.

I have not found them to be as "intelligent as dogs" like most people say they are. They pretty much wake up to eat, fight with each other, eat, then sleep again. At some point during the day they dig in their pens but I must miss most of that while I am at work. They rush me for food in the morning which I don't appreciate much and I wack at them with my feed scoop until they back off from me in the door (I wish I had a smaller chain link door can't imagine what it will be like when they are bigger as they are already hard to get back!).becky3086https://www.blogger.com/profile/01026872543168452124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-91179571730108336852012-02-24T21:49:29.706-05:002012-02-24T21:49:29.706-05:00We love making quiche when the chickens lay a ton ...We love making quiche when the chickens lay a ton of eggs in the summer and fall! I wish our greenhouse was insulated enough to keep our dwarf citrus trees in. Hubby hated the way they dropped half their leaves inside the house and, after about 7 years, got rid of them. <br /><br />I'm getting pig-envy from your photos. :)Teresa Robesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848939225552527941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424703824657047654.post-43107722854523138792012-02-24T11:35:31.907-05:002012-02-24T11:35:31.907-05:00Great Post! everything is growing so nicely!
