Fabulous Farmhouse Searches Vol. 3

It's Thursday again and I have once again dutifully compiled a collection of searches that led to this blog in the last week. We had a few fun ones this time around like the German tractors. I actually had to do a bit of research on that one 🙂 German makes of...

Greenhouse update

I think I promised another update quite a while ago and although you did see a lot of the plants in the recent video, I think photos are able to show the progress much better. We moved the plants into the greenhouse May 17th or 18th. The only reason I can be sure that...

Rape, pillage & murder

This morning I went out to the garden to set some new beer traps and jars of cornmeal for the slugs. They have been devouring our peanut plants, strawberries and corn plants for the past couple of weeks and it's time to bring this to an end. Otherwise the only thing...

The current state of our garden

Although we have made some progress in the garden over the past month or so, we still have a whole lot of work to do. We thought we would post a quick video update just to let you see what we have done and how some of the plants are coming along in the greenhouse and...

Ayla’s Awesome Assays 🙂 Vol 1

I've actually been wanting to do this for a while because I love reading the searches that lead to places like Nanook's blog but I just haven't gotten around to it... Today I am couch-bound because I had dental surgery yesterday and am not really in any shape to be...

Fabulous Farmhouse Searches Vol. 2

Ok, I missed Thursday but I had a pretty good excuse...I had some dental surgery done yesterday and I wasn't really feeling like blogging. I actually started this post early with thoughts that I might get around to it yesterday but it didn't happen. But I wouldn't let...

Get the water flowing again

On Saturday morning we went to Hagebau, our local home improvement store, and finally bought the pump hose and fittings to set up the pump for our watering system. The previous owner of this house ran piping around most of the outside buildings so that he could have...
