Goat Resurrection

March 22, 2007February 20, 2022 farmersadieLeave a comment

Drenching a goat is like giving a cat a pill. Only harder. So last weekend my clever goaties found an un-latched gate to the front yard.

Concrete RULES!

For whatever reason, my garage floors were half concrete and half gravel when I bought the place. Since the farmstand is getting a little more attention this year, I decided to bite the bullet and finish the job. You may know this already, but concrete is EXPENSIVE! The only way I could afford to do… Continue reading Concrete RULES!

Very First Starts!

May 17, 2006February 20, 2022 farmersadieLeave a comment

My whole life I've only planted in the same two places; mom's place and the old farm. They are within a few miles of each other and behave exactly the same. Same soil, same air, same weather.. Everything. When I moved out here, it made sense to expect surprises and differences. The soil was tested… Continue reading Very First Starts!
