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.

Farmer Friday

 

We have had weeks of high heat at least 105 every day and some days as high as 113. Pretty much anything in a smaller pot has fried to a crisp, I've probably lost a seedling tree that I planted this spring and the figs aren't looking too good since the squirrels tunneled under them and dried them out big time.

But I do have tomatoes! And after all the years of dealing with root knot nematodes I *think* I am finally clear of them. Now I just need some rain and cooler tempertures to get some more things planted. Not much thrives in this heat and dryness. Even the prickly pear cactus are dried out and shriveling up!

Just a Little Catching Up Part 1

 

Just trying to catch up a bit here since I haven't posted since Oct 2022. Things just got so crazy and I was trying to work on videos so this space was neglected. Trying to do better! This was how big Digger Dog was at about 6 months. He's even bigger today of course!



This video is from November; things have changed a lot since then!

In November I sold the 4 wether kids which helped the feed bill a bit.


In December Chocolate gave birth to a single doeling, Christmas Evie

And then Gazelle had twins

And a look back at 2022. I'm hoping to post a some more catch up posts the next few days and then keep up with at least a weekly roundup.
