…For the last time. Wall building season has begun once more, but this will hopefully be the last year that we are building walls. And by walls, I mean the rock walls where we are cementing posts, adding wire and filling with loads and loads of rocks. Don’t get me wrong, I love our walls,…

Indoor Seed Updates
Here are some nice visuals of how our indoor seed starting has been progressing since we planted 4 weeks ago. The greenhouses are becoming greener every day with the plants getting bigger and bigger. A lot of our seeds came up earlier than expected, or at the very start of the expected days to germination….
Planting Plans
Kurt and I always like to spend a day or two in the very late winter deciding what we are going to plant for the upcoming gardening season. We do this late in the winter so that we have plenty of time to get our seeds started in the house before needing to be transplanted…
Wood Chop Stop
When we started using the wood stove in the house, we created a little wood shelter beside the shop for the wood we would need for the winter months. We were very naive about how much wood we would go through and that little shelter barely sufficed for the wood we would need. So, over…

Planting Days
This year we intend to start as many of our plants as possible. In the past we have only started a few of our plants and then purchased the rest from a somewhat local nursery. Many of the seeds we purchased are for our region and are good for approximately 3 years. That being said,…

Prepping & Painting
We’ve been a little delayed in finishing the basement spare bedroom. We ended up having a family member in the hospital and a houseguest, so we were behind a little bit in our renovation. Now, I’ve also been delayed in writing about the progress, so I’ll get you caught up. Last I left off, Kurt…
Mudder Fudder
So I left off with having the first layer of mud put onto the wall. All the seams were taped and mudded and everything was looking good. I went down to check on the first layer of mud and overall everything was looking really good, though I did have a few small trouble spots on…
