May 2016!!

Here it is May already! In the past year we have downsized quite a bit.We no longer sell eggs.We have 9 hens and they supply us quite well.
We have asparagus coming,this being the 4th year we expect it to be a great crop!

Pea order is here,just waiting for the right time to plant,super sugar snaps and alexandra are the varieties,alexandra being a shell pea.
Peach and plum trees are blooming and the honey bees are busy.
As for the strawberries.....not so good,maybe next year :) 

January 2015

 So this is 2015! Less Facebook and more blog!

In October I got another horse! Didn't plan to but that's how it turned out.She's a sweetheart and I can't imagine her not being here.We still have chickens about 100 but of course they are not all laying.This cold weather is hard on them.....one day they are out running around all over the place and the next day they are all cooped up! Spring is like 70 some days away.....yes,I am looking forward to Spring.Made some jelly in the fall and some beets and chow.We didn't have a good growing year here,no cucumbers! Other crops suffered as well,here's hoping 2015 will be a better year. 

January 2014

WOW 6 months' since I put anything new on here! That's terrible!We had a great crop of berries,best ever! U-Pick was awesome this year,I even got to make some jam.
We had a really good crop of squash,sold it all and all of the pumpkins.We had lots of gourds but they didn't sell so well.....oh well the chickens and deer really enjoyed them.
We had a mink in the coop on Jan 1,not a great way to start the new year.Geof killed the mink but not before it got 8 hens :( Such an evil creature!
We are enjoying our home grown meat chickens,they are delicious! 

The twins are 7 months old!! Just adorable grandbabies!!


What a winter!! A real winter......spring is 63 days away! I've had chicks on my mind....lol now that I know what the problem was with the incubator I won't hesitate one bit now.....fill er up! lol
