Garden Methods
Work, Work and More Work
The girls have been weeding garlic and onion beds. The onion beds are the hardest, they are infested with clover. But the onions are looking great in spite of the slight encroachment on their space.

I’m in! Well, I’m in for a little bit then I’ll clear out and let Dirt finish sometime around June. Well with this side any who. We’ve got some figger out on the other side. Figgerin’ and fightin’.

How I Make My Bed
This has been my big project this week. A modified French drain around our old log barn that does not have gutters or any place to put them. The job was a tough one to get to. When it is really rainy and the need to do the job is very apparent, the soil is … Continue reading
