What's going on at Stinky Pete's Ranch?

All kinds of chaos here at the ranch.  A lot of the focus is on developing our garden for self sufficiency, sustainability i.e. permaculture and enjoyment!  We are in the middle of renovating a 1960's California ranch style house.  Our birds are growing a little too well (see Petunia the duck).  Whiskey, our bloodhound is up to her usual shenanigans.  Mostly raiding the garden for our sweetest carrots and lettuce.  The kids are bouncing off the walls, so for all our sanity it is time to get back to track and field.  In preparation for this summer's camping, we planned the garden for a few weeks' break, automated the chicken coop, found a sitter for our barn kitten (Peter Parker) and caught Whiskey up on her shots...pretty soon it'll be time to hit the road in our trailer, Stinky Pete!
