Let the veg begin!

I’ve wanted a roadside vegetable stand for a while — so I built one! I used various rough cut lumber and scrap materials I had on hand. It’s 6’ high in the front. Wooden boxes and shelves will finish it up and present the veg for sale. More pics of it in action coming soon!

Say hello to this early veg! We’re in zone 4b (that means cold) so seeing cucumbers and zucchini ten days into June is always great.

Plus, there’s a few other things, like strawberries, curled kale, cilantro, spinach…

Finally, here’s a view of the garden, relaxing after a hard day’s work. More to come — stay tuned!

First post, First sign of broccoli

Well, I spent a few minutes messing around with a new website for our gardening and small homestead operation. But I gave up — I already have a website! So, for the time being, right here is the place I’ll be posting updates on our garden and chickens. You can check out the YouTube channel HERE.

Yesterday, June 3, I noticed the first little budding broccoli. We live in Zone 4, so this is significant. (Zone 4 has a relatively late frost-free date and early frost date.) But because we start our plants indoors (“undercover sowing”) we get a jump on things — and it was a warm May, to boot.

Be sure to check back here for updates — more to come!
