As I waffle about how much of a fall/winter garden I want to deal with this year, I knew crop rotation is important. My method to figure out what to plant where, though, has been rather haphazard. I’d google to see if a specific… Continue Reading “CROP ROTATION MADE EASY”
Heads Up! September is around the corner, and we have a challenge! National Preparedness Month is observed each September to raise awareness about the importance of preparing for disasters and emergencies that could happen at any time. So, let’s test our Preps.

The goats from Chronicle Farm are back. This time they are cleaning out the back of my property. They will work on the area behind the house this week and then move to an adjacent area behind and around the barn. Meet our visitors:… Continue Reading “THE GOATS ARE BACK”

I cleaned out the garden debris in containers that have finished their life cycle. These are the containers I will use to plant fall crops. One of them contained the plant for a new to me variety of squash that I was disappointed had… Continue Reading “UNEXPECTED 8 BALL”
This afternoon I peeled and quartered my potato harvest from Thursday and canned them. Aren’t they gorgeous? I have not always liked canned potatoes – until I ate my home-canned ones. The commercially canned potatoes always had an “off” flavor to me. Now “canned… Continue Reading “READY TO EAT”
