Blou Ranch

Blou Ranch As many others during these ever changing times, we have found living off the land and being self sufficient to be very rewarding.

We want to encourage more like minded people to find the same rewards. We are doing this through selling plants, animals and supplies, workshops, and being helping hands.

Pumpkin plant has overgrown out of the garden box. Lola pulled off one of the outshoots while protecting us from the fedex truck. I am trying to get roots going and save this beautiful pumpkin. Thank goodness we have plenty more but to learn how to save nature in any way is worth every bit of effort! Wish us luck!

I planted seeds two years ago for this healing herb, Elecampane. First flowers this year. This is just one plant! The root fresh, dried or powered, is used to strengthen and tone mucosal tissues. It is great for respiration and supports healthy gut. Flowers and leaves are used more with Asian traditions. Many uses and many ways to use this wonderful herb. Also found newly hatched spiders on my gargoyles. Welcome to the garden little guys!

Lola saved a baby bunny today! Lola was nosing around the ground near Mia’s cage. I heard a very loud squeak. Lola looks over at me and back to the ground a couple of times. Went to look and behold, a cold wet baby bunny. Seems he latched on to mom and got pulled out of the nesting box, tiny enough to fit through the wire walls. He had a fat belly and I brought him in to get warmed up by hubby who runs a little warmer than me. The baby was very very vocal until he calmed down and was warm again. Good girl Lola! Such a gentle loving soft mouth Pyrenees! This dog breed is the best!
