Ecofarmer

re-settled in Hungary from Rochdale, Lancs, England, and into a little village, doing a bit of greenish farming hoping for a quiet life... but stuff just happens...

of new goats, and bears.



You cannot make a bad picture of a brand-new little goat…
Born last night to Clover (the white younger nanny, with the fierce looking horns)
Only one, and only billy – well, never mind. It has no name, as it will be either eaten or sold, such is farm-life… Alan was up quite a bit, as neither the little one, or his mother were very cooperative. But all seems well now.
The other picture shows “bear onion” which I have discovered at Pecs market;
It’s marvellous crispy leaf , including the stork, and tastes like garlic! Why bear?
Well, Hungarians are pre-occupied by bears, what can I say? We have bear-cheese for example… If you know what it is in English and can send me seeds, please do. There were no seeds of it to be found anywhere.
The dry weather is continuing, today’s cold-front brought clouds and wind, but it stayed basically still hot and dry.
These factory-chickens are still a bit off their rocker, two of them were still
pecking at food out there in the dark, doing serious overtime… Eva
