How does she plant 8 ACRES of produce every year WITHOUT A TRACTOR?
Im glad you asked. I’d like to introduce you to my handy dandy wheel hoe. I have lots of different attachments that fit on it. Today I fitted it with the pieces that cut a planting furrow in tilled soil.
Here’s how it looks:
What do I spend my birthday 🎂 doing? Why planting garden beds of course! Lol
Another garden bed tilled and planted today! This bed has yellow onions and carrots in it. Planted together, carrots and onions make superb garden companions. They repel each other’s insect pests. This heirloom variety of carrot comes from Russia and is similar to the Danvers half long in appearance. It is dark orange to almost reddish in color. High in beta carotene and with natural resistance to insects.
400’ of onion and 100’ of carrots.
Added to the previous bed gives me a total of:
700’ of onions and 200’ of carrots planted so far.
I still have red onions to plant plus more whites and yellows after this planting is finished. When I’m done I should have close to 1500 linear feet of onions in the ground. Hope y’all like spring onions!
My winter wheat is looking lovely. It’s starting to jump up and green up now. Remember this is PRAIRIE GOLD, NON-GMO, ORGANIC WHEAT! It does not have adulterated gluten like most modern commercially grown wheat has been.
If you or a loved one have gluten problems, you may want to try this wheat flour. Many of my customers report they don’t have side effects after using this flour. *Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Please consult your physician for medical advice.
Get outside y’all and enjoy this lovely spring weather!
Ladies and gentlemen, the planting season has officially begun at my place.
Today I got 300 feet of onions in, and 200 feet of turnips.
Will be separating garlic cloves for planting during the rain that’s coming. As soon as it dries up again, I’ll be planting garlic, cabbages, broccoli, and othe rbrassicas, greens lettuce, carrots, beets and a bunch more…oh my! Here we go folks!
If you aren’t excited yet, don’t worry; I’m excited enough for the both of us lol!
Say hello to Oasis Homestead’s newest arrivals! Two beautiful baby girls!
