I planted 72 small peat pots on Saturday. Planted tomatoes, peppers, herbs, squash, all open-polinated. I've never planted with OP and I've never really tried planting my own seedlings. Its usually a bad combination to try multiple new methods at the same time but I'm going to give it a shot. I'll also be planting more OP seeds directly into the garden once it warms up a little.
I'm waiting for the arrival of another pear tree due this month. New bees are arriving April 12 and I've ordered a couple of new pullets which will arrive about the same time.
I got lumber last weekend to build 15 new raised beds this year and the new chicken coop is definitely in the plans for this year. Next year, I want to raise meat birds for the freezer so I'll get the coop taken care of by fall.
I live on an acre of land in a rural area. I have an old dog, a young cat, and some chickens and bees. My goal is to live a healthy and simple life with as little dependence on the outside world as is feasible, which is not to say I'm a hermit! I've been doing this a few years and I'm no where near where I want to be so still have plenty of things to learn and do. This blog will combine my own adventures getting there with things I've learned that other people might find useful.
