How time flies! I must admit that the majority of my farm time and energy has been going towards the two small humans on the farm this winter but with spring only a couple months away I have begun the garden and livestock daydreams. Feeling the urge to pick up a Gene Logsdon book and really get my wheels turning.
We are due to have goat kids within the next month or so (which means I'll get to start milking- hooray), Caleb is currently building a compost pile to rival the Great Pyramid, and we are gathering ingredients for our latest farm toy- the soil blocker (a great invention that cuts the plastic out of plant starts and gives those seedlings all the extra nutrients to grow well).
Plans for the year ahead...definitely grow more corn as the taste of homegrown hominy is unbelievably delicious, laying hens, more meat chickens, ducks (a special request from Huxley), perhaps a pig or two -which we hope to feed on food grown here on the farm, some indoor citrus trees, hopefully get the greenhouse up, and a garden filled to the brim with food to enjoy fresh as well as to harvest and savor next winter.
