We are getting so close to having the garden all done and planted. I love gardening but I want to move on to other chores. Hopefully just one more week of transplanting and the garden will be in. The cantaloupe seeds I saved and planted have popped out of the ground. I wasn't sure about them but so far it's a success which makes me smile. The cantaloupe sprouts saying hello. The peas are growing fast, so we put up some T-posts and fencing for a trellis for them to climb up. The T-posts we already had and the fencing we acquired from family that didn't want it anymore. I took video to show how we wrapped the fencing onto the posts and I'll be posting that on our you tube channel. The drip system is all laid out and in place for the most part. There was an unexpected chore that came up this week. The trellis for the peas. I was minding my own business doing the dishes the other morning when I realized our water pressure had dwindled...
We're a small family of four doing what we love on the homestead, in the garage, and in our home. Most recently we started a metal business and when in season grow our own food, cut our own firewood and do projects in between it all. We'll show you what we know and how we do things and who knows you might learn a thing or two. If you head to our Instagram or Facebook page you can see what we're up to on a mostly day to day basis.
