This year has been a year of growth for Appleseed Farm.
1. The fencing is done to keep those adorable little Bambi's from eating our blueberry bushes. While we love to watch them as much as everyone else does, we are tired of feeding them all of our blueberries. Well, not the berries but the bushes. Those little suckers would eat the plants right down to the ground, no matter what we did. I was fixin to go all redneck on them, but my sweet hubby decided that maybe I would be of more help out of jail than in and built the fence before I got arrested for shooting all those cute little so and so cuties. Now, I just have to scare the ones that are brave enough to jump or crawl under the fence. I threaten them with deer camp whenever I catchem'
2. We have added not one, but 2 new greenhouses to the farm. The first one was put up early enough in the spring in order to use this year, the second one will be in use for the fall. We were able to grow things that the deer would not allow us to grow (they would eat them, of course). We had some awesome green beans, cucumbers and tomatoes. We haven't mastered the huge learning curve to garden in the greenhouse, but we will.
3. New chickens were added to the farm. I had decided to take a year off from animals and then get the pigs, goats and chickens next spring. But my Dad decided to try and hatch chicks and I inherited 40 10 day old chicks. They are about 9 weeks old now. I am about ready to start butchering some and getting layers ready for the winter.
4. We got a new van for deliveries!!! It is the coolest thing. It is not new but new to us. We can put so much stuff in it and still have room left over. It helps to keep things organized.
I think that might be all that has grown. Hopefully soon I will have pictures soon.
See ya on the farm
