I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that time was well spent with your family's and memories created for your little ones. I know it's been a while since I last posted, and apologize. I have been very busy around the house and work as most of you have I'm sure. I did want to take this moment to just encourage ya'll during these winter months. This is a great time to plan your spring gardens. You can add new beds, take out the dead plants, weed your beds. replace any wood in your raised beds that may have suffered any rot. Also plan and install rain barrels, compost bins, order seeds the list goes on and on!! I would encourage you to pick up a copy of the 2012 Farmers Almanac also as a good guide to what days are good for certain jobs around the homestead. Lastly, if you are enjoying the rewards of what you are sowing in the back yard then spread the word and encourage your family, friends and co workers to get out there and get their hands dirty! Home Grown just tastes better!!
Happy Homesteading!!
