Patch of Heaven Farm ~My journey to become more SS~

welcome to the group, theres a few SFG's here myself included :) its my favorite way to grow now lol
 
Thanks! This is my first time trying so I may have to ask advice! :) Any good sites that give the plant to SF ratio? I don't want to crowd them but want to maximize my space!

Oh and Miki I would love some tips on canning. :) I am not a great gardener but I will help in any way I can when you get your garden going!

Hope everyone has a great day! I am off to get bed #2 put up and finish my morning chores!
 
I have the book, Square Foot Gardening. Another good one is Postage Stamp gardening. I don't use the raised beds, but still use this type of method. I've been growing stuff on my fence, but because of ground hogs, will instead be putting up a trellis in my garden. It saves so much room w/vine plants.

It's cool that you have a horse rescue. My Arab was a rescue.
 
Got bed #2 almost completed..just got one more board and need to fill it up!


Deb that's great you have a rescue horse! They truly are magnificent creatures. This is Dahlila..she was in the kill pen and headed to Mexico the next day when I pulled her out.. She will be shown this spring..She is a sweet lil mare.

Well I am off to the barn to do evening chores and the local Girl Scout troop is coming to earn their horse badges today! Going to be a busy afternoon! :ya
 
She looks a lot like my Misty.

ETA: When I first got Misty, she had the dark mane and tail as well.

First pic is small..couldn't get it to get any larger..
This is Sauro (sorrow)..she had a haystring wrapped around her neck and was about starved..you can see she is now a fat and sassy pony..my boys will be showing her in 4-H this year..





Didn't get near enough done today!! Got to clean my house....at some point.. :th
 
I had a rescue horse too... LOVED him, and miss him dearly. I would love to have a sanctuary like that if we ever get around to having enough land.

Here's Casper two weeks after the auction where I bought him... he was almost 400 pounds underweight (he was a 17.2 hand thoroughbred)

And just 6 months later teaching my three year old niece to ride:

Not to hijack your journal... I'm just so proud of Casper and what a great horse he was. He had a passport and before me he competed in international show jumping, I contacted his old owner from his passport (she cried when she heard what happened to him) and she sent me his picture from jumping days :)
