So I made a new garden plan, even though I may not know for a couple weeks if the csa thing is going to happen: it's just fun to design gardens! I really enjoy the puzzle; x number of units, x number of weeks, x number of beds, seeds, spacing, planting dates, succession, I've got all sorts of...

Well, I haven't had many chicken purchases this year yet, but of those I did they got recorded! I will likely expand this goal to encompass gardening expenses as well.

Garden looking good Bee I hear you about unrolling hay bales! I used rotten ones which had been sitting in my field (for who knows how long) and they were a quite bit of a chore to unroll.

There are several depositories around here (not of our making), but around the house they're mostly well organized. I'd like to get the scrap wood pile a bit more organized but that's not a priority. There's a big one at the treeline - it's a mystery pile I have not explored yet. Mostly twisted...

There's no way I could clean up everything here, it's 100+ years of families dumping stuff. But, nothing is a huge eyesore so I guess they've kept it under control pretty well. There is the classic old car that you always seem to find in the woods of old farms, and a camper van. All sorts of...

When do you usually tap your trees?

Ya, that's what I'm using mine for :) We got one last year for half price, but I doubt we'll get lucky again.

Ah! I need one more of those! I would be over the moon if I could get one for free!

I actually won't need to do many changes in all honesty, if any. We talked about various ways to share the workload this year, and compensation will be determined once we have a plan. It was just the initial conversation, we ended up talking for 4 hours lol. But it's forming the foundation for...

Hey, if there's anyway you can get access to it, my mom is watching "The Caregivers Club" by CBC, and says it's a very accurate description of what she went through. I haven't watched it yet, but I thought of you and just thought I'd pass it along before I forgot. I have a feeling you can't...

Thanks @sumi !

Sumi, I'm stealing that for the January garden thread lol

I just had a conversation with another small farmer, might need to re-plan the garden, I think we might do business together!

I miss my orange yolks too.:( Will be awhile before the bugs come back, so it's just a waiting game. As for their free range area, it's just an overgrown paddock. If I get a lot of chickens though, I may need to consider adding something like clover, but it's a large area so I don't know if I'll...

I have a plan to get my first seeds and transplants in the ground April 14th - spinach, carrots, mesclun mix, lettuce, kale, peas

As for the garden, handed over some seeds to my dad to get started. Leeks and onions will be started in a couple weeks, most everything else won't be started until March

Spring is just too far away it's: Snow and ice month (current month) Snow and ice month Maple syrup month Spring (though that doesn't mean there's no snow and ice) Really Spring Definitely Spring! Summer Hot Summer Fall Chilly Fall Cold Fall (which is really winter but we're in denial) Winter...

Awesome Bee! :celebrate I completely understand how good that feels. When you finally get something done that's been sitting in the back of your head forever, oh man, best feeling.

Maybe one of your girls will marry a progressive guy or be gay and get to keep her name! I had told my boyfriend(now DH) at 18 not to propose to me unless he was prepared to take my last name (family of all girls, and only the ones in this country with that name). But, I didn't force him to...

Nice bay, looks great! Lol, I should take a picture of my freezer...looks pretty much empty right now.:\ But hopefully this year I'll be able to fill it up!
