February 14, 2010

We’ve been picking away at the seed order since Christmas, and finally finished it tonight. There’s no doubt we’ll still end up scrambling for something we forgot, but that’s the real world.
The first order was to Miller Nurseries

Midwinter Slog

February 8, 2010

We’ve been keeping busy doing unexciting stuff that needs to be done.

I keep hearing all my friends making resolutions for the New Year that involve getting fit. I think they are doing it all wrong, though. Why not volunteer at a local farm instead of joining a gym?
There are small farms popping up all over urban areas, or just a short drive away. Farms are [...]

All the Stuff That Didn't Fit

December 31, 2009

This is our farm notebook. This entry is for what we can remember that was either overlooked or never had a ‘right place’ to put it.
We didn’t have help this year. As a result, we made less progress than last year, but at least we made it. We did run more fence, but are [...]
