I'm saddened to report that I was starting to compose the latest searches that led to this blog and there is nothing new and interesting in the collection. Well, there was one which was kind of interesting which asked what spacing should be used when planting habenero...
Photos from the harvest and our new freezer trunk
Somehow I completely forgot about adding photos to my post yesterday so I will post them now. Must have had a blond moment :)Here's a photo of our red current harvest. As I said, it came out to about 3.5 kilos which isn't so bad. We really aren't sure what we will...
Eating our first harvest of veggies
Tonight at dinner we ate our first zucchinis and cucumbers from our greenhouse. The zucchinis were still rather small but Stefan prepared them with lots of fresh black pepper and salt, diced onions, garlic and some white wine and they turned our really tasty. Then we...
We love our new freezer trunk
We bought a new freezer trunk earlier this week and are currently completely in love with it. We went shopping yesterday to start filling it up and of course because we have houseguests coming this weekend. They won't all be staying here which takes some pressure off...
Taking the storage buildings back from the vines
We intended to start removing bird houses from the horse stalls today but ran into some problems getting the shelving off the wall. The previous owner used some massive braces to support it and we couldn't use the new angle grinder to cut it off because it made far...

How does your garden grow?
I try to keep the garden related posts to a minimum on here since we have a separate blog for that now and because I figure that most people renovating their homes don't necessarily have the time of interest left over for gardening. But our plants are exploding in our...
A garden update
As promised in my previous post, I just went out into the garden to take a few pictures to share of the plants. Normally I would wait a while but since the photos in the last post are 9 days old anyway, there has been a lot more growth lately in the greenhouse. The...
No searches this week
Normally I would have posted my weekly searches blog yesterday but there really weren't any new searches leading to this blog this week. Well, there were plenty about Rob Rainford and more of the same from the previous weeks search posts, but nothing that made me want...
Fabulous Farmhouse Searches Vol. 6
I'm a day late...I know. I wasn't really inspired by the searches when I started looking at them on Wednesday. Then I had to take Ayla to the vet because she was limping but so far things seem to be ok with her. So it's Friday again and my body feels like it's...
