Seedlings part 2     Beans are going good and my second go at seedlings has been much better.     I used nice new soil this time.     I've been watering a lot less, and I also started watering from below, this is much easier to not overwater. I bo...

Weeding part 2     We go to the farm at least once a week unless the weather is terrible and the weeding isn't that bad, it would be much quicker if one of us didn't have to run around after our toddler. Usually my husband runs around after our son...

Seedlings     So as I predicted half of my seedlings didn't make it, I overwatered them and they got a white fluffy fungus, I was hoping I caught it quick enough but I mustn't have.     I thought the spinach was sprouting okay but I think it's gone...

Making Homemade Cloches     Buying cloches can be very expensive but they are super easy to make them yourself.     I wanted to use a hose cut to size but I wasn't able to go to the city to buy a cheap one so for this time I bought 6 pipe insulatio...

Powdered Egg Shells     We eat a lot of eggs in this house so I started collecting them, after about a week collecting them I washed them and dried them. I ended up putting them in my dehydrator and they dried up great really quickly.     I pulled...
