Another hardworking day on the homestead 🌱☀️

Mike and I started at 10am this morning and didn’t finish until 7pm, but we got so much accomplished getting the vegetable garden ready for the season!

✔️ Weeds picked
✔️ Garden tilled
✔️ Pumpkin patch tilled
✔️ 30 pounds of potatoes planted 🥔
✔️ Onions planted
✔️ Beans planted
✔️ Peas planted
✔️ Cucumbers planted
✔️ Raspberry patch mulched

Still left to plant:
🌽 Corn
🥕 Carrots
🍅 Tomatoes
🫑 Peppers
🥦 Broccoli

Long day, sore muscles, and dirty boots — but days like this are so rewarding. Nothing better than working side by side❤️

Mike and I have been slowly building our orchard since the day we bought this property, and it’s so exciting to see it coming together. Today we added 7 more fruit trees!

We now have:
🍎 3 apple trees
🍑 3 peach trees
🍐 3 pear trees
🌳 3 plum trees

It’s really starting to feel like something special 🙂
One more step to living off the land and cutting down on groceries bills.

3 years ago today are first ducklings hatched!! 2 of the Pekin female are still with us today. They both lay eggs everyday!!
Mike is the one who wanted to get ducks on the homestead. He said they are funny to watch. He was right they honestly sound like they are laughing at us all the time. They are do a great job eating the ticks in the yard and they are very low maintenance ❤️
Happy Birthday to the original gals today 🎉
