progress

had to put a name on the papers so we decided on Spotty Dog Farm. what do you think? we heard a lot of suggestions and this one was the best. By Saturday we will have turned in the complete application (15 pages ) and paid all dues and then stuff just needs to grow! kinda exciting and frightening all at the same time. we just kinda comfortably fell into this. just let it ride.

spring has sprung!

both these photos i took with my camera phone, so the quality suffers..but becke took the camera with her to california for the next week, so any work/ progress will be documented by said phone till next wed.

more projects completed and seedlings

speckled roman tomatoes as of a few days ago:

here they are today with the walla-walla onions:

some seeds started...

two trays of green chiles and one of the longer type tomato and three rows of our own sweet pepper seed

new garden plots are well underway.

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 !!
