Growing and Growing....

Well today we ammended, fertilized and tilled 1200 square feet of Garden!!!   WOW and then we started planting from the greenhouse, brussel sprouts and broccoli.  So far so good, lots to go, but we are getting there!

We also got the berries and grapes in the ground!  Things are looking up and looking good!!

We have another cow share available to the first person to contact me.  I was hoping to have a list together, but have not been able to get there, so if you are interested in a cow share or maybe 2 please e-mail me cathy@coxfamilyfarm.com and We will set it up!

Have a great weekend and happy growing ;)

Update....

We are taking it easy on this nice wet day!  We have been plannting strawberry's and need to get the grapes, blueberries, and blackberries in the ground, maybe tomorrow!  The figs seem to be holding their own and the lettuce is looking good along with the cabage!  The broccoli and brussel sprouts are coming up too now!  YEA!  Looking forward to a full day in the garden tomorrow with tomatoes and carrots on the top of the list!

We have put 2 trailers of wood chip mulch in the garden and need another 2 loads!  So maybe we can work on that tomrrow as well.  Also looking into another Cow!  I found 2 one if 4 yo and the other 5 yo so maybe we can go look at them!

I am creating a list for the cow share, if you want to be on the list for the next available share please e-mail me and let me know.  I have several people who have contacted me, but want to get everyone on a list so that i can be as fair as possible!

Pig should be ready to butcher in March, if anyone is interested in the Pig please let me know.  I can deliever it to K & C processing in Navasota and you can tell them how you want it processed.  If you buy the whole pig it is 2.50 hanging weight, other wise we will have some pork here on the farm available at 4 lbs! 

Excited about the calf due this month!  Hoping for a boy so we can have more meat!!!  Will let you guys know if we have any for sale!  Grass feed beef is great for you and great tasting!

We are making some cheese this week so if you are interested in pre-ordering cheddar let me know!  Also making some soap, so if you would like some good old fashion milk soap let me know!

Well I guess that is all for now.  Talk to you soon,
