Removing our old rock raised beds.

I've decided that the random beds around aren't what will work here anymore. So Malachi and I are pulling out all the rocks. Then moving out herbs to better places.

October 3rd


Peppers. Eggs. We still can't find their pile... These are the eggs Judah brought in. Not sure if this is all of them. Mint. Judah wanted tea. And a cute tiny squash. 
Nettle seeds. Joelle wants to dehydrate and cook them. I'll let you know. 

All the happiness in the world!!!! I'm so excited!!!! MILK!!!!  Glorious milk!!! 
Loofa. Picked too early. Hopefully will dry and be nice. 
Earths gym today. I got it nearly cleaned out. I hope to rake in the morning and start tilling for some greens. 
 
   Gardening is good for my soul. I don't want to release it this year. My plan is lots of composting this winter. And all the plants I brought in. 


Today:   4.05

Yesterday:  4.20

Total:  8.25

October 1st

Day 1. Challenging our family in raising all the food we can in 1 year. Or until I quit. Hopefully I succeed. 


Today's harvest.  
We got 14 eggs. 
A large handful of mouse melons a small bell pepper. 
Some hot peppers. 
A habanero.
 And a small handful of chili peppers. 2.94 lbs 

Rhyyan also found a puffball mushroom. But it was eaten before the picture was taken. 

It might get boring. But I hope to keep it interesting. Obviously it will get better come spring. 

I can't wait to see what we can do!
