There have been some pretty cold nights here, but the peppers are doing well under the polytunnel. A wind storm took the top out of one of my walnut trees. I'll be chopping up some of the main trunk for wood working materials. In the pic there's one branch up high, but also a major section down below that completely snapped off.
The ducks are doing well for the most part. I butchered a younger one(not pictured) that was having problems walking and was lethargic. I was unable to determine a reason for that problem. It seemed that it had stopped eating as well.
Egg production with my chicken flock is continually decreasing. Hopefully, the oldest of the new ducks will start laying soon. Next season's spring priority will be building up a new flock of chickens.
