Check out my cabbages going to seed for me! Such little cuties!
Today I’ve planted garlic cloves, garlic scapes, turnip greens, beets, lettuce, kale, and mustard greens. Now on to the last bed with red onions. I have 2,500 linear feet or roughly 1/4 acre, of garden planted already. Soon I’ll be starting on potatoes — reds and whites!
Would you believe this gorgeous plant is just the lowly turnip going to seed? Isn’t it amazing how beautiful vegetables can be?! I have a whole row of these lovelies that will give me fresh new turnip seeds for Fall harvest.
💥💥UPDATE💥💥
The male pup has been sold. Only the 1 female pup from this litter is still available.
2 brother and sister litter mates, rolling around in spring grass having a good ole time.
She says: PET MY BELLY!
so of course I must pet her belly. Lol
He says: AINT I ADORABLE!
So of course I have to rub that little adorable chin. Lol
These 2 crack me up.
See comments under each pic for more details.
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!
Are we all halfway through our February Cabin Fever Frieday cleanses?
I’m doing those each Friday. Yesterday, I also did a gallbladder cleanse. I’m feeling fantastic today! Woop woop!
Who is ready for our February cleanse?
Starting FEBRUARY 2nd, we will have CABIN FEVER FRIDAYS, each week!
❄️ The winter blues can make us feel down and tired. We need to give ourselves a boost to feel our best. We need vitamin D, exercise, lots of chlorophyll, a micro nutrient dense diet and oodles of water!
Here’s your 🏠 CABIN FEVER FRIDAYS plan:
🌞 Your Vitamin D and exercise- Each Friday you’ll need to get outside for no less then 20 minutes of activity. It must be intense enough to make you slightly out of breath. Make sure you choose a time of the day that the sun is the strongest possible in your longitude and expose the most amount of your skin to that sun as you possibly can. You can do this everyday of the week and for longer periods. Just make Friday’s for 20 mins your minimum this month.
🚿 DO NOT shower after this vitamin D protocol for at least 2 hours.
⏰*bonus option would be to use a tanning bed with UVB ray bulbs 6-8 minutes each visit, twice per week.
☕️ To really help your body make use of the Vitamin D protocol and help your moods, take a supplement and stop drinking coffee.
Chlorophyll and Micronutrients-
Every Friday you need to take in lots of chlorophyll and micronutrients. You can do this up to everyday or as often as you like but make it every Friday as a minimum for this month. Choose 2 of the options below each day:
