Well I’ve got a truck coming to finish up the last of the jobs I had this spring. Haul out the fire wood and deliver it to where it needs to go, and to pick up the equipment on the way back threw and deliver it to my place. Then I’ll finally be able to [...]

Where oh where do I start? Its only been a little over a month since I wrote here but a lot has happened.
The job that I had, cleaning up the woods, have come to an end for the season. I cut a good 10+ face cord of wood the 4 days that I worked over [...]

Last October I purchased a number of small farm (large garden) equipment. I had started working on the equipment right after I had gotten it. With winter setting in, and no where to work except in the snow and cold, I had to put things off till the spring. Not that I didn’t try some.
The [...]

The past few weeks I’ve been picking up some equipment to help me in expanding my gardening into small farming. The difference? Gardening is for personal use and farming is for profit. Not to say that a garden isn’t profitable, but one can’t make a living on just a garden even if one can live [...]

Yes, it sounds a bit early, isn’t this the time of harvest. Well yes it is or at least it is for some crops. Gardening isn’t a plant today, harvest tomorrow type of thing. I’ve been harvesting right along. Most of the vegtables I planted have been harvested. Summer Squash, Zuchini, Peas, Radishes, exc. But [...]

The latter has happened to me….
Some of you may have been paying attention [...]

Last week I had gone to the John Deere tractor expo, and I had promised to tell of my thoughts after I had gotten back. But it was late and then I had to do other things — and one thing led to another, including putting my father in the hospital the other day. [...]

To the plate…
That is what we all wait for when we have a backyard garden. Today I was able to get a quick photo of what I harvested before everyone dived face first into the fresh veggies. Now this wasn’t the first harvest I’ve made, its just the one that lasted long enough for [...]

How did you spent your Memorial Day weekend?
This was a question that I asked myself when I came to the point of wondering just what did I do. I seem to do this a lot. Have you ever gotten through a day, a week, or a weekend and then wondered what it was that you [...]

The day before yesterday, I spotted my neighbor out with his tiller. So I figured it couldn’t hurt to ask, “can I get you to till mine at some time?” He started to hem and haw, so I smiled and said “No is an acceptable answer, I just thought I’d ask.” He gave me a [...]
