Simplicity Rose Farm: Chickens are happy in their new home
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011/06/chickens-are-happy-in-their-new-home.html
Thursday, June 9, 2011. Chickens are happy in their new home. We have 24 hens of at least six varieties. All are brown egg layers. They have a nice new hen house with plenty of room and a 40x40 ft pen in which to roam. They seem to be extremely happy to be outside and able to take dust baths, eat grass, and chase each other.

Simplicity Rose Farm: Our farm house
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-farm-house.html
Thursday, June 9, 2011. This is our "farm House." We bought a reconditioned small motorhome where we can sleep over, get out of the rain and get warm in the winter, and get cool in the summer. We have what amounts to a full hookup at the farm. AND, we can use it to travel when we want. We're really enjoying it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Garden Treasures Nursery and Organic Farm.

Simplicity Rose Farm: Garden mostly planted
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011/06/garden-mostly-planted.html
Thursday, June 9, 2011. June 9, 2011 - The garden is mostly in for this year. Strawberries, shell beans, summer and winter squash, pumpkins, lots of green beans, corn, onions, shallots, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, leeks, fennel, and more that I can't think of right now. The weeds are also doing great. This weekend we need to do lots of weeding and then mulch with last year's dried grass to help control weeds and conserve moisture. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Simplicity Rose Farm: February 2011
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Today I planted 75 strawberry plants. 25 each of Tri-star, Shuksan and Benton. It was cold (about 40 degrees) and my fingers were pretty cold by the time I finished. There are freeze warnings in effect for later in the week. The strawberries will probably be OK but the bare-root fruit trees we planted last weekend might need some mulch. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. So I went on and tilled the entire garden (1/4 acre). Only the very lowest 2 ft were a bit wet for tilling.

Simplicity Rose Farm: April 2011
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2011. We advertised the farm house on Craig's List and got interest right away. We have signed a lease with a young family looking for a country home for their two lovely daughters, chickens and possibly milk goats. We're looking forward to working more closely with them. I have already broken sod for a new 40x50 ft garden in the former south pasture. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Garden Treasures Nursery and Organic Farm. Update on compost system.

Simplicity Rose Farm: Spring is here
http://simplicityrosefarm.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring-is-here.html
Wednesday, April 13, 2011. Last weekend we spread 15 cu yds of 'hog fuel' in the raspberry patch. 'Hog fuel' is freshly ground up wood material which makes good mulch. Often hog fuel is full of green branches, metal (soda cans), etc. This stuff was pretty clean. Cheaper than 'mulch' but just as useful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
