new garden plots are well underway.

three sisters plot:

didn't finish at all today, but got like 90% of the fence up, and the reclaimed chicken wire was really tangled and pretty short in some sections, but we are taking a slightly different approach this season.

snowbrew

nice snowy day off, why not have a homebrew?!?



got ingredients for a true american style imperial IPA...should be delicious and taking a reading of the dark ale today..that will be delicious.

small projects in between snows

new section
cattle fence addition

needs a couple support posts and those boards in the ground to prevent runoff from the gravel driveway..coming soon !!

pork ribs

mixed my rub together and cut the slabs in half


Memphis style rub
