It's been a little while since I posted anything new here...between trying to play catch-up during the few sunny days & a tempermental computer that's been to the doc twice w/out total success, well...
Anyways, onto farm news. I've got the goat girls booked for 4 jobs in the L/C area after they get done w/ the 3 jobs here; I find it cool how my system of diversity on the farm is starting to work out. It's been a real slow go this spring w/ the produce - most things are up, but just sitting there, hanging on for the sunshine...but the grass & weeds are over my head on some of these jobs I checked out last Sunday. So far, it's 'my girls' that are making me the money, yet to get anything out of the garden 'cept for my personal sampling, which I prefer to call "quality control", doncha know? I also have another potential client in Harpster waiting 'til summer, so the girls will have a full summer..and bellies! Fun to watch the response of a client when they come out in the morning to realize what used to be a 7-foot tall bull thistle is now nothing but a hollow 6-inch-tall "stump". I've been "volunteered" to ride along w/ my driving mentor in the White Bird Days parade on Fathers' Day. I'm also planning a "playday" with various draft animals on one of my garden sites, this fall. I've got the gardens planted to bursting --> some of the highlights are 5 types of tomatoes; 4 melons, including 164 cantaloupe plants & 26 Tigger melons! I should {finally} have the peas & salad fixin's available for sale in about 2 or perhaps 3 weeks, depending on the sun.
Well, that should catch you up on the news around here, for now.
