I started this blog to record my experiments/adventures in the land of urban agriculture. It is growing into a garden consutation business. I will be happy to advise, plan, install and maintain (or any combination thereof) a garden for you.

Down on the Farm

Claire and Pearce were very eager to use their new farming equipment the Davis' gave them. Spent some time hoeing and raking and staking 'maters.
Opposite ends of the garden was a necessity. They're going to need to work on swinging implements safely in close proximity to one another.

Garlic Drying Barn

Aragog's web. Can't see it to well but the yellow rope is there.
Nearly there on the tarp coverage.
A place to cure my garlic without stinking up the house. Maybe store some equipment out of the garage.

First Harvest is Up and Curing




First crop of the year presented by Pman. That would be a cool drying frame if it weren't going to be 'mater stakes.

Boring Old Details

1/2" rain yesterday evening. No watering until Friday if at all this week.

Need to start seeds for last of summer squash, next round of tomatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, and maybe eggplant. I also need to decide how I'm going to do my sweet taters. Do I buy slips or do I make them? That's the $2 question. Tune in tomorrow, "same Bat-Time, same Bat-Station"

The Buzz Around the Farm

A frame full of honey held by my Hunny.
A brooding moment with the bees.
Mixed sleeping and eating quarters.
The word around the hive is the bees are beeing extra busy on the honey making.
