LOTS OF GOOD STUFF HAPPENING!!!
On the farm in town, we are starting to reap the benefits of all our work earlier this spring. Food on the farm takes a lot longer and a lot more work then just running to the store to get it. But it always tastes so much better. And we have the benefits of knowing exactly what has been put into our food. So let's get this started...
The tomatoes
We planted tomato plants this spring and they are doing amazing!!!
*Little Girl and me modeling our beautiful tomatoe plants.
*I laced them through our fence and they love it...over 6 feet(2 meters) tall so far and full of ripening tomatoes.
The chickens have started pulling their weight.
Two days ago I collected our first two eggs from our hens and we got one more yesterday as well. I'm extremely excited about this as it is a continuous food source and eggs are really delicious!!😁😁
*Regular brown egg.
*Green egg from one of my "Olive Layers"...now I can have green eggs and ham.😂🤣😂🤣
*My friend, Little Green...she is the layer of the green egg and one of my favorite of all my chickens. She will fly up to my shoulder to hang out with me when I call her.
*A video of our Cattle dog playing with our main rooster Big Green. They are hilarious to watch.😂🤣 Tell me in the comments who you think won.
STRAWBERRIES
The strawberries that were planted are producing small delicious red treasures. They are really sweet and I usually check them and the tomato plants each morning and eat tomatoes and strawberries for breakfast when I can. And with the recent addition of eggs...breakfast gets a good boost.😁
*See my bounty from this morning. And soon we will be getting a lot more each day as the chickens and plants are slowly increasing their production.
WORKHORSE SOLD
To fund some necessary things in life, I had to sell our white Ford Super Duty. Plus it was just too nice for the homesteading life and was doomed to be slowly destroyed.😁😁
*This is her new home, where she will live a campers lifestyle... nice and easy living for an old horse like her...she will be missed though.
NOT MUCH MORE
That's about it for now, but I'll leave you all with some fun pictures from the last month or so of our homesteading fun...
*Ella giving me a hard time for making her do selfies with me. Look at that face.🤣😂
*.....look at her nose. Those are spines from our cactus after she decided to give it a smell.😅😅
*Blackberries that we used to make two and a half gallons of jelly and six pies.
*A Timber Rattler I saw on the homestead a couple weeks ago. He was about six feet long and looked healthy. Mice shouldn't be a problem around my place.😂😅😅
