The best thing about growing dry beans is they don’t have to be processed as soon as you pick them. We planted black beans for the first time this year as an experiment. They were picked in July and I am just now finding time to circle back to them. Most pods averaged 5-7 beans inside and we ended up with about 1 1/2 lbs after I shelled them. Because these are heirloom beans, we will save enough to plant again next spring and eat the rest 😋

The hardest work always happens on the hottest days of the year. This weekend was a huge work weekend for us on the homestead. Knowing there is a tropical storm probably heading our way reminded us that we are in the peak of hurricane season and work has to happen if we want to be ready for fall planting. All it takes is one storm to set us back so this way, we are prepared. The summer garden is completely dismantled (except the Lima beans which are just now in bloom), the raised beds have been turned and covered, and the chicken tractors are in their new homes for the next year. Our main garden has hit the 7 year mark and will be resting until fall of next year so it can replenish the nutrients it needs to be fruitful again. It will become a temporary home to the meat birds and some of the laying hens. Happy to have this phase of break down behind us!!

We wanted 6, incubated 22, and ended up with 10. Not bad without knowing if these eggs were fertile or not.

Freedom again…fencing had to come down for tree removal and they have been “cooped” up for too long (at least I’m sure that is what they would say).

Never been so thankful that the sun hasn’t shone yet! An hour and a half and 800 plants later just about everything is vertical again.
Now let the sun shine and the plant healing begin 🤞

The hardest work always happens on the hottest days of the year! But the summer garden is officially down (except for the Lima beans), raised beds are turned and covered, and the chicken tractors have moved to their new homes.

Spring/Summer Garden 2023

Chickens are helping break down the winter garden in preparation for spring! #happychickens

It’s always sad when the broccoli doesn’t produce well enough for us to eat but on the bright side, it is feeding our bees and that is a major win in our book!

Well…not great news but we move on thankful for another day! Crazy thing is it will be in the 70’s by the weekend…

29 degrees!!! It’s like a heat wave!!!

Still cold but the sun is shining and a slight warm up is on the way!

Still frozen 🥶 This should be the last day of below freezing during the day. Perhaps Tuesday morning we will get to uncover the veggies and see how they fared. Days like this I really wish we had a greenhouse! #goals

10:00 and still literally frozen!

Hopeful that this will give the crops a fighting chance over the next 2 days. Here in the Lowcountry of SC we aren’t used to 0 degree wind chills!!!

American Bresse…will these be our new meat birds?

Don’t let the milk go bad…the chickens love to have milk mixed with some feed as a treat.

Looks like the bees needed a little extra room to call home 🐝

This never gets old 🐣 🐣🐣🐣
