Good Enough Acres

Good Enough Acres Hi! We are a city family, who long to be country folk! September 2020, we moved to a home on 5 acres in Island County, WA, USA.

Come along with us as we ride the rollercoaster learning curve of how to be more self-sufficient through homestead living!

The Ducklings we got a few weeks ago are feathered and finally enjoying free ranging across the yard and little pond. 😊

Shared post- Looking for 14 homes to take on a French Exchange student for a couple weeks this summer!

"I am looking for families ( or couples) that might want to share their home with a student from France for three weeks ( 8th -30) in July! Students are 14 to 17yrs old and looking to experience life in America. Activities are planned to do some sightseeing I just need to locate places for them to stay. Please feel free to contact me for more information. It's an experience you'll be glad you participated in! Lisa 360-540-6056 "

It’s been a bit since I’ve updated, and I know I haven’t been as active as I was last year. I’ve been busier this year since I’m not on a leave like I was before. My garden got a bit overgrown and I didn’t yield nearly as much, but I think I was still successful. Still can’t get the hang of melons or carrots though. I did get another round of garlic planted today, got tomatillos husked and washed to ready to freeze, washed and sliced the green tomatoes and got those ready to freeze, and I’m preparing the parsnips to freeze. My sunflowers went wild and it took a lot to clean them up. I have so many seeds and the chickens got a bunch for a nice snack. I also got to see lady bugs in different stages for the first time ever. Growing dill everywhere was a good call. The lady bugs made the dill their home. Idk where they’re at now, but I’ll see them again in the spring.

Tomatillos and dry tiger beans. Freezing the tomatillos for when I have time to make some salsa.

Parsnips are surprisingly easy to peel. Yes, I grew these. There’s more to be harvested but they are a pain to get 😂
