Suburban Sharecroppers
http://weharvestlife.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-sharecropping-garden-across-street.html
Thursday, January 1, 2015. The sharecropping garden across the street has taken a bit of a back seat with my surgery. Maureen again has been working there and did some planting before the surgery. She is harvesting some things like potatoes. Some of the cauliflower is up and growing while some is just staying the same. Overall it somewhat typical of our winter garden there.

Suburban Sharecroppers: Surprise!
http://weharvestlife.blogspot.com/2015/06/surprise.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. 20 pounds of potatoes is what we pulled from the ground a few days ago. Doesn't sound like much, but we were clearing a bed for more planting and had left these in for the fun of it. Never expected so much and they were so good in green chile sauce and a roast. Great enchilladas. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is Who We Are. Our Plot at Green Lane Allotments. Payback time for the vines. My First Foray into Mushrooms. End Of June Up-Date. Goals for Summer of '11.

Up against the fence in this same bed are the transplanted olallieberries. That a friend gave us this winter. I'm assuming the harvest will improve in the coming years:). We prima...

Suburban Sharecroppers: March 2015
http://weharvestlife.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. We've Started Planting- Update. This is our first time no-tilling with produce, though we started no-tilling around our fruit trees last year. We did a variation with our corn experiment last summer, but it was just the straw to help retain water and keep down weeds. The soil around the trees and under the wood chip mulch is soft and moist and full of worms. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). This is Who We Are.

Suburban Sharecroppers: Our Thankful Turkey Harvest
http://weharvestlife.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-thankful-turkey-harvest.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. Our Thankful Turkey Harvest. This post is a summary of our turkey slaughter. Some of the pictures will be graphic, so this is a warning to the squeamish. This is our turkey just before the processing. We chose to hang the turkey. It did calm the bird, but after cutting the jugular veins there was one burst of wing flapping, and then a settling down. After most of the plucking was done, we hung the bird up again. We were tired of bending over to get to the feathers. The next ste...

Suburban Sharecroppers: Still Here. . .

Sunday, December 2, 2012. Still Here. . . But not posting much. What will follow may be construed as excuses or reasons. Take your pick. Just some thoughts on the Suburban Sharecropping/urban growing/turkey raising experience. Just be rationalizations.). That's Soup on the left. She got into the nesting box and couldn't get out.often. We eventually had to block the bottom two boxes to prevent another stuck turkey. What if it's today? Even before I scrolled down to the after pictures of the lawn the thoug...
