GROWING AND LIVING THROUGH THE FOUR SEASONS HERE AT WOOD DUCK FARM

Sunday, March 21, 2010


Dang it's windy today. Afraid that our "coup with a hoop" was going to become airborne, I decided to lower the front-in loader to act as anchor. Hopefully this will work until the winds subside later tonight. The broilers are ready for some sunny warm days as well.


Dual purpose greens? These guys were pretty pleased to find yellowing baby carrots, kale, arugula and microgreens being their dinner. After getting a belly full, they decided that they made a pretty soft bed as well. Aah! one of them was already settling in for an afternoon nap.

Picking up roots. We've already burned one pile about this big. We disk and pick up roots... we disk and pick up roots. I think we are finally finished to the point where we can hopefully begin planting this fresh ground.

Between the deer and the wet winter it has been a tough year for our strawberries. We've secured an electric fence that will hopefully deter the deer a little better. With the recent warm days, we're beginning to see a few blooms as well.



These tomato plants, about a month old from seeding, are ready to go in the ground. Waiting on "mother nature."




Hopefully they'll be producing some "riipe mayters" by mid to late May.
