Well, we have been sick here at the farm. :( I had to go through antibiotics and steroids (and figured out I have an allergy to the antibiotic...another reason I went to the Dr. as a last resort and my instincts were right lol) DH is almost over it and we were able to work outside and get some garden stuff done! I am trying to clean up the spot by the barn to put a nice little container garden in. We are dealing with three generations of junk in our yard folks. I mean junk. We have hauled and piled and scraped and repurposed and sold so much crap and there is still stuff here. LOL. I am posting some pictures of our progress and some of the enormous polk root we had to remove from behind the barn (notice the scrap pile behind me...still a work in progress). I also started my seeds indoors in the last few weeks: Cherokee purple tomatoes, mortgage lifter tomatoes, watermelons, oregano, chamomile, basil strawberries, onions and garlic. I was also inspired by the latest issue of Mother Earth News magazine has inspired me to shoot for tons of delicious organic food from my own yard for basically pennies! It is so exciting spring is practically here! We have many many calves hitting the ground and I am so very close to talking DH into letting me have some chickens and ducks :) AND he finally agreed working cattle in the pasture would be much easier with horses! Yes! Well, I did my spring cleaning outside and I have way too many dishes and mounds of laundry to do and a shopping list for Sunflower market and Sams Club to make! Yay! Have a blessed day and maybe go start a little garden of your own! :)
These are before shots of the spot the day I started work on it. There is trash and barrels of junk :/
