My Edible Garden

I've been gardening for most of my life and have been a devoted fan of organic gardening the whole time. It just makes so much more sense to work in harmony with Mother Nature than to fight her. Besides which it is better for the planet and better for our bodies. Here you can see what I'm planting and harvesting, with gardening hints and resources thrown in for good measure.

A Busy Weekend


Farmer Girl was commissioned to make a sign for the Superior Farmers Market. I think it turned out awesome. 

The backside. 




Saturday afternoon the kids got disbudded. I think I was more traumatized than they were. This is where you press a hot iron onto their horn buds so they won’t grow. They were fine once they got back to mom but we are all now wearing Blue-Kote   

Sunday morning I worked on the milk stand. 


Moved Caramel back up on the hill. She’s getting a baby belly. We have no idea when she was bred so don’t know when she’s due. I’m guessing probably about the end of May. 

I worked on pulling out the bolting arugula from the middle of this bed. The goats and chickens enjoyed it. 

I mixed up some potting soil and potted up some overgrown tomato plants. It’s not quite warm enough at night to put them in the ground yet. 


The milking stand works although I may have to make the head gate taller for Caramel, her legs are a lot longer than Posies. 



What to name the baby goats???  I’m thinking on that one.

Today I’m appreciating spring and the turn of the seasons. Seeds sprouting, flowers blooming, babies popping out everywhere. Life is good.
