Wyndson Farm: Eating at Home
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/eating-at-home.html
Friday, July 31, 2015. Here's a list of homegrown things I ate today. Eggs, chard, collards, tomatoes, zucchini, beets, potatoes, carrots, chives, cauliflower, broccoli, beans, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and figs. Pretty impressive when you list it all like that. Breakfast was fried eggs with gently (sounds like something they would put on a menu) sauteed zucchini and a salad of chard, collards and tomatoes sprinkled with sliced almonds, with half a fig on the side. (Thanks Larry! After the w...

Wyndson Farm: June 2015
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2015. Tomorrow's Eggs Might Taste Like Arugula. Sometimes I'm all set to do a blog post, and then I seem to have too much to say, and it seems like just too big of a deal to actually get the post done. So I took a few pictures this evening, thinking this could just be a simple and quick post. It's handy having one of the chicken fields right next to the garden. A lot of the weeds and old veggies just go over the fence to the hens, and they are happy to get them. Today was arugula day.

Wyndson Farm: May 2015
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2015. Here's my squash plants that are planted along the fence line in the back yard. There they catch a bit of water from the neighbour's lawn irrigation, and obviously it is agreeing with them just fine, as they have grown quite a bit in three weeks. We always turn our water off when we leave, then we don't have to worry about a leak and us not being there for weeks. Timers to water the plants would be nice, but we just worry about something going wrong and no-one noticing. We had som...

Wyndson Farm: December 2014
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 31, 2014. And a Happy New Year! A bit of an update before the new year starts. So here we are at the end of another year. Larry has walked down the road to a get-together at the neighbours. I'm keeping my germs to myself and didn't feel up to it anyway. The days are getting longer already and there's a whole new year ahead of us. I hope it's a good one. Happy New Year everyone! Links to this post. Wednesday, December 24, 2014. I cried, happy tears. Christmas will be much better now.

Wyndson Farm: Sailing
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/sailing.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. I shipped Larry, Jake and Calli off to Oliver on Tuesday. I suggested he go, he was game. Wyndson Cottage needed checking up on, some water needed to be poured on the roots of the dormant/dead/dull brown stuff that was once a lawn. I was also hoping that some water would help keep the squash alive that I have high hopes for. It's been a hot(ter) dry four weeks there too. I can live with that cheap cuteness for a little bit. Then also 50 cents for the super duper cow/cougar/bear b...

Wyndson Farm: Predators
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015/08/predators.html
Friday, August 7, 2015. An animal that naturally preys on others. Wolves are major predators of rodents". A person or group that ruthlessly exploits others. A website frequented by sexual predators". Monday was a holiday and I went to the fair and we did the Horse and Hound event. Teams of two dogs and a horse run agility courses and a trail course. Luna and her partner and the horse came in first, and Jake and the other dog and their horse came in second. Not bad! Far Side of Fifty. Wellif yo know about...

Wyndson Farm: One of Those Weeks.
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/one-of-those-weeks.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. One of Those Weeks. Just couldn't seem to concentrate on much this week. Each new week, after the market's over, I'm all full of great plans of what I'm going to accomplish. That never amounts to anything like what I imagine I can do, but this week seemed particularly pitiful. It really was a struggle to make jam. At one point I said that I didn't want to make jam any more. Monday was mostly taken up with the trip to Vancouver for a check up on Larry's eye. So far so good. I'm not ...

Wyndson Farm: The Sky is Falling!
http://wyndsonfarm.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-sky-is-falling.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. The Sky is Falling! I'm sure that is what this recently fledged Robin must have been thinking today. It pretty well rained all day, hooray! Not really heavy, but I think this time we finally got enough rain to do a bit of good. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I walk out somewhere that has never been watered and scrape the ground with my foot and see how far the water penetrated. No doubt it is the same fledgling I carried from the middle of the driveway a couple of days ago. What ...
