Fall Update

OK so fall was 4 months ago and it’s almost spring.  We actually did a ton of work on the garden this past year, but being the lazy guy that I am the blog didn’t get updated.  So here’s a quick summary of what happened since May 2014, and I’ll be elaborating on what worked and what didn’t:

Converted some sprinkler zones to a drip system

Made a road trip to Womack’s Nursery in DeLeon, Texas to pick up some fruit trees which were planted along the fence
Tried my hand at brewing soil…a.k.a. COMPOSTING!

Chopped down a couple more trees and some bushes to make room for the expanding garden

Got a dump truck full of chipped wood to cover the garden areas (had to move the pile with a rented Bobcat skid steer – FUN)

Built a chicken coop

Planted corn, beans, and squash only to have the squirrels eat them ALL

Got bees!

Stay tuned for more updates!!
