A Day at the Farm - Early Spring Planting of Kale and Grape Clones

Here are some of the beautiful pictures I took of the Early Spring forest. It will be an exciting year with the many varieties of new seeds I have acquired in the last year. I hope you enjoy the updates throughout the summer of the transformation of my country farm.

I made about 100 grape clones with 3 or 4 varieties. I only put a few in each bucket this year so they don't use up water too quickly and die off like last year.

The Cozy Little Cabin.

The small pond that freezes over in winter and cannot sustain fish, heavily utilized by the deer for water. At one point when I was feeding them I had 20 deer in the yard at once.

My grape cloning buckets were all set to go from last year saving me hours of time.

A peek inside the cabin, there is a loft above too. Enough space for a few people to sleep.

A shot from the end of the garden. Soon everything will come alive again!

I have buckets, fencing, windows, thick glass doors, hoses, pallets, pumps and tanks, it's a scavenger homesteaders dream. I also have a 20 x 12 greenhouse that I will use next winter. I will utilize some of the buckets for hydroponic and aeroponic systems.

Every spring the snow leaves us to their happy home in the great beyond.

The forest is so beautiful. I will build a treehouse village and underground garden paradise there. With land costs rising it is wise to utilize the vertical area of your land, both up and down.

I just planted a few pounds of Kale seeds in the immediate surrounding area of the cabin and garden. About 1 million seeds. Will the deer rip them all out by the roots? Will I be able to mulch around them and protect them? It could be the start of a new smoothie business for me. A little dream of mine for quite some time. Of course I will also plant protected rows in the fences for them and there is another 1 and a half acres of farmland on the other side of the pond that I can plant on. I will do everything from seed saving to selective breeding and mass production of food.. made with love.

The end result will be lemon ginger sodas with natural honey or maple syrup, grape wine, and anything made from berries, melons and fruits. Pumpkin pie rollups, banana and tomato ketchups, french onion soups, jerkies and naturally sweetened candies. Dairy cows for making my own cheese and mushrooms for salads and extracts. And of course maple and birch syrup. I will have my own private restaurant with exotic foods found nowhere else in the world. But for now I perfect my recipes as you can see in my previous posts and acquire the materials to build the exotic paradise.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my organic farm project.
