Dear Readers – Due to the time of year, I am once again too busy with gardens and other projects to get any real writing finished. Although I have many thoughts on my mind, and stories to share, I leave you with more photos of what has been going on around the homestead. Once things settle down, I hope to get back into the swing of things, and start putting all my thoughts back into words, but until then … Enjoy … Peace and Cheers!!
Here is the addition we just added to the chicken run. Our original run was too small for 6 chickens... They are much happier now, and not nearly as loud!!
Freya with a giant morel mushroom!!
Here is another perspective of what we found!!
On the left is brewer's yeast sourced from a local brewery, in the center is honey, and on the right is bee pollen. These are the makings for pollen patties that will help feed our bees. They should be arriving in the next week or so... updates to follow!
Here are about 60 grafted apple, cherry, and plum trees! Some of these are going to be a part of the new cider orchard at my in - laws, some will be planted here at the Autonomy Acres homestead, and some still need homes .... Contact me if you are in the Twin Cities and are looking for a custom grafted fruit tree!!
Here is the new blueberry garden. Northland, Elliott, Blue Crop, and Jeresy are the varieties that have been planted. The challenge will be giving them the acidic soil that they need to thrive ... I will touch on this in a future post.
Five rows of spuds!! In a few months we will hopefully be pulling out pounds of Yukon Golds, Dark Red Norlands, and Russetts!!
