The Red Wattle Hog is on the critically endangered list of heritage breeds.
Oink! Oink!

Worms!





Our computer got a bad worm...that is why we haven't blogged for a while! Speaking of bad worms,the cabbage worms have destroyed most of our cabbage,collards, and kohlrabi!














The hand picking of worms and worm eggs didn't seem to work this year simply because of the numbers.
