g all her little bunnies were covered with fire ants. We hand picked off all the ants and moved them inside were it was safe. On the living room floor, Kristine quickly made a safe bunny n
est and placed them inside. The momma bunny was stressed out due to the ants and the new move....but soon calmed down and started nursing again. We have our baby rabbit formula and bottle ready in case of an emergency.
Chef Graham Dodds at Bolsa placed an order for organic heirloom green garlic today. Green Garlic Soup is on the menu! Make 
some for yourself, or go down to Bolsa in Oak Cliff and order some.
This year Steve and I are starting for the first time an edible flower garden. I have grown beautiful huge roses in the past. The horses loved to eat them. They are very high in vitamin C.
They make a great topping for a desert or salad!
Steve and I have been inside today, It rained all night and is still raining. We have been working on our new web-site (edencreekfarm.com) and writing some new music.
The pond out back was completely dry. But now it is half way full. 
Our dogs Henry and Maya are having fun tromping through the mud puddles. Yahooooo it finally rained!!!!! The garden won't
need watering for weeks. 
swatting and screaming...(it was hilarious)! We all ran for the safety of the house, including the dogs who you could hear yelping from the bee stings. Anyway, this hive has s
tarted to "Africanize!" I have never seen anything like this before...one hour later, the bees were still circling the house waiting to sting anyone who walked out. 
he new field. Add water and shake. Wait a day or so, and the soil will settle leaving you a clear picture of what you have...I have sandy loam. Now, I test the PH and nutrient contents. This 
piece of land ended up being slightly alkaline(8.0). To lower our PH we will add composted horse manure and oak leaves. Our Nitrogen, was low. The horse manure along with our other organic fertilizers will help bring up our Nitrogen. The Potassium and Phosphorus were at a good level. It will take us a few years to get ideal soil...but well worth it!
. (Not to mention the drought we are in) But, all and all a good percentage of our seeds did germinate and were not eaten by the wild, cotton-tail bunnies and the seed eating bird population. I learned a little trick when I lived in Indonesia. Hang recycled white plastic grocery bags in the garden(temporarily). This will keep birds and rodents out of the garden and give the seeds more time to germinate. The seed eaters think the swaying white bags are some sort of predators and keep them at bay . Seeds can be wiped out in a few hours by a big flock of birds, so out here...I need to protect the seeds until the are well established in
the dirt.
down a mulch of oak leaves and hay. Mulch helps hold in moisture and nutrients for our garden veggies...and also cuts down on weed pulling.
Okay, so I went back to the house and cooked up breakfast of freshly picked asparagus, farm eggs and left over Eden Creek Meat Loaf (it tasted even better than the picture I took... looks), cooked in organic virgin olive oil and garnished with mandarins.
Squeeky fell out of a tree when he was only 2 weeks old. He had no hair and was still pink. We bottle fed him every two hours all day and all through the night for almost 2 months. He is now 9 months old!
Squeeky is an indoor squirrel, who ventures outdoors every now and then.
