Spring time is sooooo busy!
Working on the farm in spring time always makes me feel behind! No matter how much I get done, because there is always something else to do that should have been done or needs doing ASAP!
We have been working hard, between the chickens and the coops, New fences and barns, and the garden and new fruit patch, we have accomplished a lot!
This past week we have a green house full of flats that are popping everyday with new life! It is so cool to see the seeds you plant pop up out of the ground trying to grow! I love watching them and watering the flats makes the coolest rain drop sound that I love, it is so relaxing, and God planned for you to water at the end of the day so you can hear the relaxing sounds! To list a few of the items in the flats to get your mouths watering, Lima Beans, Black-eyed peas, purple hul peas, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. etc. there is a lot! So stay tuned for what is in harvest!
We also planted 9 blueberry plants, 3 blackberry plants, 3 raspberry plants and 12 grape vines! WOW! excited about producing fruit this year or maybe next! One of the grape vines has a bunch of grapes already growing so i hope it keeps producing and growing! Now the trick is going to be beating Alice to the fruit so that we all can get some! LOL
We also got over 400 sq ft of Roma tomatoes in the ground and lots of egg plant too! The green house is full of flats that are poping so be watching for which items are going in the garden next!
On top of all of this the New Web-Site is about to be released and it looks great! We have a photo Gallery on the site and i have been trying to add photos in my spare time (lol for those who know how much spare time i get). So I will let you know when it goes up and want everyone to check it out and let me know what you think!
I am out of town today at a Karate Tournement with Alice, she is nervous and scared and excited! We will be back tonight and tomorrow planting more in the garden! Have a great week and keep growing...

Fruits and Veggies..... Yumm!
We are working hard on the farm! Building chicken coops and fences. The Aggie's have a Big Event day and they are suppose to come out on March 26th and help with the fence and a barn! We will have hot dogs and hot links for them and hopefully get a lot done and have a good time.
We are also steady planting in the greenhouse and moving stuff out as it gets done! We have 5 rows planted so far! I am totally excited and can't wait for all the stuff in the green house to sprout so we can move more to the garden.
Yesterday I bought some blueberry, raspberry and grape plants so that we can get them planted and have fruit this year, or maybe next we will have to see how that goes!
Lot is happening and the farm is coming together this year. I am so very pleased with all the progress! We are also in the process of updating our Web-site and it is almost done! So I will announce that as soon as it happens! It will have a photo gallery with lots of pictures for everyone to see what is going on.
Well, I need to get digging so I will post more later....
Enjoy the sunshine!
