Let me first say that I’m not the Fig Tree expert. My neighbor has been a Master Gardener for a very long time. He has planted thousands of plants. He has a bit of knowledge to share and I’m ready to learn. On his property there are several varieties of Figs. When I offered that I wanted to start some Figs, my neighbor graciously allowed me to take some cuttings. He also shared how he used to propagate them when he worked at the Botanical Gardens. They would put cuttings in Perlite alone and claimed Continue reading Propagate Fig Trees: How To and Why→

This is a short list of reasons why I love my ducks. Ducks are a wonderful addition to the farm. When people visit they are attracted to the ducks. We have three breeds on the far. It all started with a visit to the local feed store in the Spring time. My little girl just couldn’t go home without a duck. The baby Rouen duck was our first. Later we ordered the Australian Spotted ducks. As a bonus, Holderread Waterfowl Farm & Preservation Center included a couple Indian Runner ducks.

Cucumbers, Brussels, Broccoli, Chard, Lettuce… and feeding Goats
Sometimes it’s extremely difficult to find time to get things done! That’s how I feel right now. There’s so many things to do. The project list on the farm is getting longer and longer. But that can’t stop the garden. A farmer has got to eat and you can’t eat what you don’t plant! Luke and I take some time to do a small patch in the garden tonight. I can’t say that it’s all done correctly, but that small patch is done for now.
