Spring on the Farm
Spring is in full swing, and we’ve been busy working around the farm, trying to bring a few projects back to life.
One of the biggest projects right now is the greenhouse. It is far from finished, but it is finally starting to come together. When we started working on it, there were already peach trees and strawberry plants growing, which felt like a little reminder that we could bring it back to what it once was.
Since then, we’ve added blue potatoes, watermelon, ginger, elderberry, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and flowers. We’ll see how everything does! We still have more to plant, more cleaning up to do, and plenty of mulch to add, but it feels good to see progress.
We’ve also been working on our outside gardens, though they are still in need of a lot of TLC. Like many small farms and homesteads, we’re learning that sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t planting — it’s keeping the groundhogs, rabbits, and other hungry visitors from enjoying everything first. We’ve already lost quite a few plants, so we’ll see what makes it.
That’s part of the process around here. Everything takes time, and we are so excited to continue bringing Windstone Landing Farms back to life, little by little.
As many of you know, we added a few chickens a few months ago. After some trial and error, we finally figured out a way to keep most of the predators — mostly the red hawk — from enjoying our chickens. That feels like a win!
And now we’re thinking we may add another animal soon… any guesses what it might be?
