Planting day
I know this post is out of sequence but it just happened that way. We actually planted our garden early good Friday morning because they were calling for rain and we thought this would work our perfect?!? We did indeed get it planted...but little did we know that a big part of it would get washed away later that night! We were so excited because not long after we finished planting a little shower came...just enough to soak the ground good.
We thought we were set. Needless to say there will be some replanting to be done later this week. And then it will be on to the chainsaw work.
Welcome!
Welcome to our family blog. We have a small (55 acres) farm and are attempting to raise beef cattle, some hay, laying hens, honey bees, a dog and a small garden. We also have a small pond that has fish in it but they pretty much raise themselves.The Twenty-eight eleven is the name of our farm. It comes from Deutronomy 28:11 which reads: "The LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you." We count on God's blessings for our life as we know it so we thought it appropriate to go ahead and give Him all the glory for anything good that we produce, be it crops, cows, or children. This blog will be a fun project for us to document what is going on at our farm and hopefully share some natural ways of farming along the way (as we learn too).
I love that you guys are planting a garden! We did a container garden last year and loved it. We want to eventually get to the point of growing pretty much all our main produce stuff!
ReplyDeleteAnd the bees, the chickens, and the cows! When do you find the time? I think I need to come and see your farm!! :-)
Well needless to say we will be having "Planting Day 2" after the Tornado pretty well erased the first attempt. So goes farming!
