Trying to figure out what volunteered to pop up in the middle of our yard. Looks to be squash but unsure of what variety. Any guesses?

It's going to be another hot day. The US National Weather Service Peachtree City Georgia has issued a heat advisory in our area with the heat index reaching as high as 107 degrees. ☀️ Be safe while outdoors today. Now is also a good time to take a few simple steps to save energy:

✔️ Set your thermostat at 78 degrees. Lower settings increase operating costs by approximately 5% for every degree below 78 degrees.
✔️ Shut blinds and shades to keep the sun from warming your house.
✔️ Turn off any lights you're not using.
✔️ Use ceiling fans to make you feel cooler, thus making it less likely you’ll need to lower your thermostat.

It's been one of those long slow weeks here on the farm but the weekend is here at last and it's time to follow those country roads and wander the wastelands for a while.

James Springer, why you write your name so small?

These burns are from a garden hose. On warm days a hose sitting in the sun can get up to 140 degrees. Before you let your kids play in the hose be sure to run the water till it cools off first. This incident was several years ago and did not occur in Heber. It is just a reminder of something to be aware of.

About 5 weeks ago we bought 6 Slate Turkey poults that ranged in age from 1 day to about 1 week old. We didn't post much about them in part because everyone we talked to said the first TWO weeks are the most dangerous time for the poults and we didn't want to have to post about losing them.
Five weeks later we're ready to post a quick update :)
Meet our Turkeys!

For the two people who've asked why we don't make a video of taking the trees down, the answer is simple.
We don't wanna be held liable for anyone doing things as dangerously as us! 😂 🤣

06/05/2022

Another tree gone and a pile of work for tomorrow!

The key to a low maintenance and low cost garden is to grow a variety of plants that readily self-seed. Here are some of the easiest self-sowers.

In case anyone else was wondering, bonfires, burn barrels and brush piles are out between May and October but fire pits are ok as long as they're supervised by a competent adult.

06/02/2022

We're back at it, being busy little beavers again today. Every day brings us one step closer to where we want to be.

At some point this weekend we'll be hanging out with our boney buddy Dennis and doing a taste test to see which, if any, flavor of Cholula hot sauce earns a spot in the UniVaca cupboard.

We had about an hour to run around outside while it was only raining lightly, so Sam helped stack buckets.
