Halloween is taking over! It’s not time!!!! Send reinforcements before I’m over run!
…said no one, EVER! It’s Egg washing Day! #buttnuggets #eggs #farmfresh
I decided to bake some bread today. I’ve not really done too much bread baking lately, the other day doesn’t exactly count. I opted to experiment with a recipe my Grandma gave me back in February. I’m so glad I wrote this recipe down because my family said it was by far the best! It was so light and fluffy and made a spectacular PB&H for lunch. I’ll definitely make it again and have it available at the farmers market soon!

I was filming in the garden and my knee brushed something wet….I use soaker hoses and we haven’t had any rain….Gosh, I sure hope that wasn’t dog pee🤢🫣😂
Set up the quail brooder. These are Bob Whites and they are teeny. #quail
Pretty sure Chase was thinking “Those are some BIG doggies!”. The cows seemed very curious about the tiny “cow”.
We got our garden planted early April and here we are middle of May, planning to rip the garden out of the ground. Our soil is contaminated.
Two years ago, we bought several “clean” straw bales to mulch the garden area (at that time, we had just cleared all the bamboo and hadn’t issues with erosion as our cover crop peeled up). We didn’t think anything of it and till that straw into our soil as an amendment so we could eventually plant the garden there. Well, surprise! Surprise! All of our plants started growing deformed and curled up. Turns out our “clean” straw had been treated with Grazon.
So now we are yanking the garden and disposing of the plants far away from the garden and compost pile.
It’s a terrible place to be and so utterly heartbreaking. All that time wasted starting seeds, prepping the soil, planting ….
Looks like I’ll be hitting the farmers market up a bit harder this summer so I can get stuff put up for our family.

A dream come true! I finally saw the Northern Lights and I didn’t have to drive North to do so. They came South! It was so amazing. I may have repeated “My heart is so Happy” a million times. Such a breathtaking taking experience and I want to repeat it. #northernlights #southcarolina
It’s slug season. Not sure how he got in the house but check those coffee mugs before you pour or you might get a terrible surprise. #slugs #coffee #surprise #gardenpests
