Homestead News, Volume 23
We have some food growing in the greenhouse along with some basil and flowers. More flowers than usual and surprisingly, some of them like to bloom in the winter.
Turnip greens |
Salad fixings – amaranth, pak choy, kale, cress, lettuces |
Looking out of the door that goes into the house. |
Balsam – I had no idea they would bloom in the winter greenhouse. |
And believe it or not, the tomatoes are blooming. I don’t think they will produce because it gets too cold at night.
But this will be the first plants I set out come spring if they make it until then.
Our baby goats are all on the ground for the year. We had one set of twins and two sets of triplets. One of the does has continued her mastitis problem from last year so we gave away two of her kids when they were four hours old. They got a few good drinks of colostrum and we sent more home with them.
Now we have fresh milk again which we both consider to be a wonderful treat.
I have been using up some of my fabric and quilt batting making lap quilts to donate to the nursing home where my Mom lives. It’s part of my downsizing effort.
And speaking of eating, today is a good day for a pot of soup. It’s still warm outside, t-shirt weather, but I wanted to use some of our harvest for a good hot meal.
I don’t like the feeling that these tools are always necessary when I walk out the door to go milk the goats, or garden, or take a walk down our lane, but so go the days of our lives. Anymore, you just never know what you need to always be prepared for.
Until next time – Fern
