Check out what your growing zone is by googling the USDA growing zone map. I suggest you look up your county, not just the state. Each state has varying micro climates. Also if you're new to growing your own food, grow what you eat. But I do like to try growing a few experimental plants for things I haven't tried yet. Grocery store flavor can not compare to freshly grown produce so don't let your experience with store bought limit what you try!
Shelled the corn from this year's garden. Was just a couple sample rows of glass gem and giant Indian corn. Have staked out a much larger area for next season. Growing for our personal use as well to supplement the livestock's winter feed❤️stay tuned for corn bread
Pleasant surprise last night! When Heidrun showed up on the farm we were told she was in her first heat and showed signs of such, wasn't expecting any kids till November. Beautiful Doeling! Momma and little are doing well so far❤️will start milking in about a week!
Been busy today❤️ few pounds of beans snapped, blanched and frozen, eight quarts of bread and butter pickles, and first butcher of the season. Mond tony ad their first solo journey at processing. I'm one proud momma❤️ they both had them finished in less than 30 min, and the meat is no worse for wear than my own first attempts😍
