I know it’s been a while since I posted, but I promise I’ve been busy. This past week or so, I have been clearing out spent plants, and harvesting and watering the plants that are still producing. I’m done with watering though. I am… Continue Reading “RAMBLINGS”
In North Carolina, winter is not on our doorstep by a long shot, but it’s certainly on my mind and homesteading tasks are geared toward preparing for winter. Since both of us had Labor Day off, we slept in until 8:30 a.m. Then we… Continue Reading “PREP FOR WINTER”
