Five inches of fluffy delight. #farmupdate
Dingy dash Saturday. Engineered to slice through the water, sort of ...
Growing the perfect organic apple. #farmupdate
Use Neem oil.
Side by side, start to current day. #farmupdate
First zucchini. Picture of growth.

The chickens are hard at work scratching a new spot for raised beds. And here's a picture of the tractor. #farmupdate
Garden is still growing strong. One of the few weeds to force through the leaf layer is morning glory. The squash is starting to catch up after a slow start and I finally got the electric fence up to keep out the dear. #farmupdate
Source had been verified. I sprout beans in a soil leaf mix to check.
This year I experimented with no plastic or paper mulch. I collected enough leaves from the landscaper to cover the entire garden. The rows are crooked, plants bunched up, no plan just planted. Stay tuned for results. #farmupdate #lazyfarming
Kale eater, parsley thief, defiler of the lawn! New hashtag #toocutetoshoot #farmupdate
Picture of disc stuck in the mud. It's been a very wet spring in the northeast. It wouldn't be farming without something going wrong.

Got some thick rhubarb this year. The secret is to split the plant down the middle and spread it out around every two years. #farmupdate
Brake started squealing on the Farmall C. Took it apart. New bands on order. #farmupdate
No, I sold my haying equipment years ago. At the time it was around $3 per bale. It was allot of work for what I got out of it.
I pushed last year's row of compost into one large pile. And a picture of the garden. # farmupdate
Grass clippings are starting to arrive. Time to start a new row of compost. #farmupdate
Video of me mowing the field with the Farmall C. Not very exciting, but it's a #farmupdate

I moved the coop onto fresh grass. In order to keep it a mobile coop I wrapped it with electric fence and hooked up a spool of wire with an alligator clip to the fence. Bear proof. #farmupdate
I try for twice a year. If it gets late in the fall I leave it until spring. As it decomposes it generates heat for the cold winters.
Robin season is here. They tend to nest low in shrubs.
Cleaned the chicken coop. Some jobs get worse the longer you procrastinate. #farmupdate
Some photos of the field after I disc it. I planted two rows of peas and used some of last year's leaves for mulch. #farmupdate
