Milk. Even though Surprise kidded almost three weeks ago, I'm just now contemplating being able to use some of her milk! She's producing way more than Alphie needs, so I have been milking her almost since the beginning. Because of the antibiotics and chemical wormer, however, I haven't been able to use it for food for us. I have been saving it to freeze for goat milk soap, also feeding to the chickens. The benefit of milk in their diet is seen in harder egg shells.
Bought a potted peppermint plant.
Planted herb seeds in egg cartons:
- catnip
- bergamot
- marshmallow
- Joe Pye weed
- narrow leaf echinacea
- wormwood
- sweet woodruff
- bush basil
- sweet basil
- anise hyssop
- creeping thyme
- valerian
- flat leaf parsley
- summer savory
- skullcap
Double planted one carton thanks to Riley, who insisted he had to have my complete and dedicated attention right now. By the time I shooed him away I planted marshmallow seeds on top of the wormwood. I planted a second batch of marshmallow, so hopefully, if they all come up I'll be able to tell them apart.
