It is time to plant onions




If you live in central Texas...it is time to plant onions sets! Onions prefer well drained fertile soil and plenty of sun.














We just got our seed potatoes in...we will be planting them February 14th.

Organic Compost



There is over six billion living organisms in a hand full of good organic compost...that is more than the population of humans on Earth!
We have been preparing our beds for planting and used up all of our compost...so we ordered some organic compost from a company called Living Earth.


















The truck hauling compost got stuck in a sink hole. It sunk all the way up to the frame. Call the wrecker!











This is Kristine standing in the rut the tire left in the sink hole.

The Army Worm Hunter





We have now hired uncle Mike "The Army worm Hunter" to take care of our worm problem! If there are holes in the cabbage it's just bullet holes. I have been spraying a garlic/hot pepper mix weekly on the surviving cabbage to keep the army worms at bay...it seems to be working...but just in case we have Uncle Mike. The directions on the garlic/pepper spray is pretty easy. Mix 2 garlic bulbs and a hand full of hot peppers in a blender with 3 cups of water...blend until liquid...strain...add 1/3 cup per gallon of water with a squirt of dish washing liquid to a sprayer and apply once a week.












This is Sally Sue our newest addition to the farm... She is an Amish trained, Belgium buggy horse. When we purchased her she seemed to be very husky...now we know why...she is pregnant!
