I have potted up and moved more plants from the old 'stead. I have 7 eastern redcedars. They will be part of a wind break and wildlife habitat area to the north of the house. I intend to plant elder berries and highbush cranberries in that area as well.
I have also brought some of my raspberries along and planted them in a sunny area to the south of the house where I will have quite a wide variety of fruits - trees, shrubs, brambles, and vines.
I have started working on the chicken coop and run. It needs some work before it will be ready for chickens. The previous owner apparently used it for Cornish crosses. It has no perches, no nest boxes, and no electricity. Clearly he did not over winter birds. So, it needs upgrades before I can get a laying flock. I am looking forward to having chickens again!
