We harvested half our French breakfast radishes. These are packed with beneficial nutrients.

Our starts are loving this warm weather. We have a great spot by our back porch where the light pours through our double doors.

Our bottleneck gourds are going crazy! This trellis is 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide. We are going to have to add a second trellis. We will dry these gourds out and make bird houses out of them. We will hang these gourds around our garden next year. They attract swallows and martins. Roughly 99% of a swallows diet is flying insects. We gladly invite them to make their home at our farm.

Some farm fresh goodies. Pics 1, 2 & 3 are a really nice spinach, jalapeño, Serano, bacon, green onions quiche with cheese. Pic 4 is a warm loaf of zucchini bread. So good! This is just a few of the rewards of growing your own.

The garden continues to produce beautiful nutrient dense food. This garden is completely chemical free. No pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers or any other unhealthy forms of nature control. We have bugs and we don’t always keep up with the weeds, but this garden continues to surprise us. When we bought the farm we had the soil tested and all tests came back highly acidic and infertile. After our garden season last year we covered the ground with wood chips and let the chickens be in our garden plot through the winter. Then we covered the ground mid January with a tarp and left it alone until March. We made rows, added some of our own farm made compost, worm tea from our worms, planted come seeds and let sunlight, water and air do the rest. I should add one powerful ingredient and that is praying over the garden every evening as we work in it. If we can do this, you can too. We’re learning as we go. We’re making mistakes and accidentally having successes. The garden is a place of peace. It leaves us feeling calm. It is hard work but it is so rewarding. One of the greatest rewards is to feed our family knowing that our produce has been cared for and the land has not been mistreated in the process. There are no hidden ingredients, just real food.

We are anticipating spring! This is 295 soil blocks. We planted these Monday and we already have some sprouts. These will stay inside until March 10 then we will start hardening then off. Once they are ready about March 17 they will go outside. We will definitely have enough food to share this year. This is just the first wave of planting. Our garden is about to drastically grow this year.

Look at the color of that butternut squash! Home grown is the very best.

Some very generous friends wanted to sow into our farm and they got us an extra large rollaway nest box from Best Nest Box! This thing is sweet! The chickens lay eggs inside that roll away to the outside compartment. It keeps the eggs clean and I don’t have to go into the coop to get them. This will go on our garden coop when I build it. Can’t wait!

We may have neglected our garden this week but our garden didn’t neglect us.
