Luna Moth

Our Luna Moth cocoons are starting to hatch...we woke up with a beautiful surprise! Kristine is now in design phase for a moth and butterfly house. We will keep you posted!

This moth, named after Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon, is one of the most spectacular-looking moths, with sweeping tails and feathery antennae. Unfortunately, it is threatened by the use of pesticides.

Planting our second run

Kristine and I planted over 600 Buttercrunch lettuce transplants this morning...now we are eating a huge salad topped with eatable flowers for lunch. It is nice having greens around again!!!


















After lunch we plant our second run of Red Chard...

Zoey our rabbit has been having a relaxing day lounging on the sofa. He also enjoyed his salad and flower lunch

Ohhhh-possum

Something got one of our ducks the night before last... last night Maya caught this opossum. Hopefully he was the culprit! He will be playing dead for a long time.

Check out these duck killing hand... this guy was the largest opossum I have ever seen!

A day at the farm

Family came down this weekend to help on the farm...Joe, Natalie, Kristin, Evelyn, Katie and Peter. Lucky them! The work day got rained out. We had a blast anyway!



The girls went to Bob's Feed and purchased 6 baby chick to donate to our egg house. Their names are: Giddian,Peanut,Shuffles,Uua,Fergie and Kalou!

Our girls are growing up! We will be moving them out to our Chicken tractor soon....

We had a fun time with potato sack races...

Kristine's sister Julie stopped by with eleven little gifts...the girls named them: Petunia, Penny, Greg, Marco, Donald, Quakers, Sunflower, Daisy, Brittany , Blaze and Waddles

Our well pump went out a couple of days before our company arrived...so we have been on water rations ever since . It has felt like camping out. No showers...just sponge baths!

Curtis and Teresa from McNeese Drilling Company brought the pump the day it got in. Thanks Curtis and Teresa!!! If you need a well drilled or pump serviced...call them at 903-851-5178.

Harvest Moon is now 11 days old, she has been having a lot of fun romping and playing in the fields!

Sally Sue is getting a work out keeping up with her!

Maya has a great time watching over them.

Bye!Bye for now!

EAT GREEN DFW

We had special guests here at the farm today.... Allison, Mike and their daughter Sarah with eatgreendfw!

After taking a stroll through the plum blossoms we made our way to the garden. Sarah loved picking the tiny purple wildflowers!

April 11 they will be bringing their group of about 20 to visit the farm.

The Smell of Spring

The Chickasaw, Mexican and Red plums are in bloom. The fragrance is truly intoxicating! Ummm... I love the Smell of Spring at Eden Creek Farm! Today the wind gusts got up to 43 miles per hour...That should help dry out the fields!

I can taste the plum wine now.....

It's a filly!

At 1:12am this morning "Harvest Moon"...our new filly was born! In this photo she is only about 6 hours old.

Sally Sue is being a very good first time mom. Her foal is happy and healthy!

Harvest Moon is a Claybank Red Dun...1/2 quarter horse 1/2 Belgian.

Got Horse Milk!

Our mare's milk came in over 5 weeks ago...today she finally has waxed...this means Sally Sue should have her foal within twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Yeeeeeeeeeee-Haw!

Sally Sue and Kristine getting the stall ready for our new arrival.

Warmer weather for planting

Been busy transplanting the seedlings of Kohlrabi, Sweet Peas, Head Lettuce, Romaine Lettuce, Collards, Kale , Cabbage and Brussels Sprouts...

The onions are starting to grow...the ground is starting to dry out just in time to get hit by another big storm.

The first peach tree started to bloom this week and the bees have already found it!

Butter Fingers (our rooster) is anxious for his new...thirty girlfriends to grow up!
