No.807: Intentions for the Month of March

Way back in the day (the first one was back in July 2017), I used to write intention lists as a way to keep me on track with my goals and the other everyday bits of life.  March is a huge month for us here on the farm as the growing season gets ​started.  I’m hoping this list will keep me organized and on track!  What tasks are on your list for March?

INTENTIONS FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH

• move Max and Ruby onto pasture (got this one accomplished on Monday before the rain!)
• add woodchips to the old permanent paddocks
• decide if we want to hire someone to woodchip some dead trees on the property
• pull the bins holding chick supplies out of the shed and inventory (do we need to replace any feeders or waterers?)
• make a big feed order
• set up the baby chick area in the garage before their arrival
• decide how many extra hens we’ll buy for 2024
• muck the chicken coops and duck house
• amend the garden soil in one part of the garden
• clean up the strawberry beds
• go through the hand-me-down bins for a son who is suddenly growing like a weed!
• finish up my February junk journal
• research carpet cleaner rentals
• teach my daughter how to make homemade bread
