Been busy in the
last week or so. We've set up and planted a bed of sun chokes, as
everything I have read on them (minus 1) says to plant them while
it's still cold out, especially since they all also state you can
just dig them as needed. Unless you are diabetic then they say dig
them after first hard frost and store till you use.
I started my
tomatoes and bell peppers today as well (here's to fingers crossed on
the peppers), I have 12 pots of each set up. As I want six plants I
am making sure I'll have at least six, I can always plant the extra
(more for us then).
I went with my
favorite tomato the Cherokee Purple (granted I like the orange smudge
Cherokee's better but I can't find them), Silver eats them like they
are candy. I am trying the Horizon Bell pepper, from what I read on
them they seem to be fairly easy to grow. I just hope they start as
I've always had issue starting them.
I have looked around
and seems now Seeds of Change has my favorite beans again for sale as
seed. So I am going to try to by maybe a pound of them to grow. If
they produce enough I should have seed for saving.
We have to start
cutting more firewood for this year as we're close to running out
(YEAH second burner!), and our blasted chain saw keeps not wanting to
start. So that is making life difficult for us there. I am hoping
to get my apple trees this year so we can get them in the ground. We
have decided on raising some pork, I'm thinking of starting with
three animals one boar, one sow and one castrated one for butchering.
This way we can raise our own and maybe if we get enough of the
piglets sell a couple every year.
Well , that's about
it for now.
Be Well, Be Safe,
and Blessed Be
