As it may be obvious, this website hasn’t been updated in quite some time. I tend to do updates in the fall & winter, when I have new ideas or information, particularly regarding the vegetables I grow. Here’s a few highlights until I have time to do some more writing.
SQUASH: This year we created a new bed outside our garden area, with in-ground beds (not raised beds) just for the winter squash & pumpkins. It’s fenced in from deer, bunnies & ducks, and seems quite successful. Soon I’ll be harvesting those, as we had a bit of frost yesterday morning.
TOMATOES: This year I grew a few tomatoes in our newest raised bed in front of the greenhouse. This is our warmest, most protected bed, and I thought tomatoes just might do okay. They did! More on that to come…
DUCKS: Our latest flock of ducks is now 1 year old, and they’re a lot of fun. They’ve been taking turns with laying eggs & molting, and we’ve had a constant supply of eggs since January. Our one runner duck is very entertaining & adventurous. I’ll update the ducks page soon.
FREEZE-DRYING: We purchased a freeze-dryer in January of this year, and have been using it to freeze-dry eggs, our garden harvests, and many other things. I’ll do an update on that soon.
That’s it for now. It’s time to go out and do some real work.
