Zoey

Kristine went to the feed store to get some more hay and alfalfa for Sally Sue(our horse). She returned with a little extra suprise... Zoey, a baby bunny!

Zoey will be living inside the house... between the baby grand piano and the 30 new baby chicks.

I wonder what Kristine will bring home next?

Slow Growing

The white,red and yellow Onions,Gourmet Garlic, Cabbage,Broccoli,Brussels Sprouts,Collards,Mustard and Arugula are looking great...just a little slow growing because of the colder than normal weather and lack of sun.


All our seedlings are growing. We will be transplanting this wave of veggies in a couple of weeks... kale,lettuce,red poc choy, cabbage and chard just to mention a few.

Record Snow Fall

Central Texas got record snow fall on Thursday February11...onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, collards and arugula are looking good in spite of being covered with a thick layer of snow!

We will be planting as soon as the soil dries up a bit.

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.

Winter Wonderland

We are having the coldest winter in eight years...I hope it kills all the bad bugs!

Sunday we will be picking up our seed potatoes and onions for planting soon.

We have two new farm arrivals Silly and Willy.One male and one female Pekin duck...Steve's Christmas present. The ducks stay on the pond...until we heard them to the garden for bug patrol this spring.

Happy New Year!!!!!
