What’s Growing on the Homestead: Amish Paste Tomatoes | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/05/21/whats-growing-on-the-homestead-amish-paste-tomatoes
May 21, 2014. What’s Growing on the Homestead: Amish Paste Tomatoes. I started this series with a nightshade, so I’m going to continue with them for a while. One of the tomatoes we’re growing this year is known as Amish Paste. It’s an heirloom paste tomato that gets to be about 8-12 oz and is known for having very few seeds. It’s also registered in the Slow Food Ark of Taste. The plants are indeterminate. Laquo; Previous post. Next post ». Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Temporary Chicken Yard | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/30/temporary-chicken-yard
June 30, 2014. We finally got a chicken yard up so the chicks can run free. We’ll eventually build a more permanent structure, but this one will have to do for now. Here’s a picture. I’ll be honest -I took a short cut with the end near the garage. I didn’t have any tensile wire left and I was running out of time since we’re leaving on vacation tomorrow, so I duck taped the poultry netting to the garage. I hope it holds. Our pet/livestock/homestead sitter will fix it if not. Laquo; Previous post. Create a...

May 26, 2014. The Big, Bad House Projects List Part Two. Here’s the exterior list. It’s not quite as long, but many of these are much bigger (not to mention more expensive) projects than those on the interior list. We’ll get it all done someday. The kids may be in college first, but hey, better late than never, right? Repair holes in siding. Install proper doors on crawlspaces. Extend downspout in the back. Add gutters and downspouts all around. Laquo; Previous post. Next post ». Enter your comment here.

Rain, rain, and… | laughingbirdfarm
https://laughingbirdfarm.wordpress.com/2014/06/12/rain-rain-and
June 12, 2014. Rain, rain, and…. Wait for it….more rain. Luckily, our fruit trees and garden have come through mostly unscathed, though we did lose some smaller seeds and have had a hard time working out there. I’ve been working whenever the rain let up, and one day this past week I put in fence posts while it misted. Today is supposed to be our second market day, and it looks like the rain will hold off long enough for it to go on today. Right now the sun is shining, so I’m going outside. Notify me of n...

May 11, 2014. Weekly Farm Status Update 5/11/14 (and a great mother’s day gift). A lot has been happening around the homestead this week. The garden is exploding. I’ll get to all of that in a moment. First, baby T gave us the most amazing Mother’s Day gift in the world: she took her first step! She’s been getting close to it for a while, and she’s tried all weekend, and finally she did it. She promptly fell down of course, but wow! What a day to start walking! Ok, now for the farm stuff. To pack fresh he...

House of Fallen Timbers: March 2012
http://houseoffallentimbers.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
House of Fallen Timbers. This Blog is the journal of my attempt to build a log cabin from dead trees and found materials. The goal is to create a small cabin spending as little money as possible. Sunday, March 18, 2012. Last week I went to Vincennes Indiana. One of my goals was to get a photo of this Hewn-Timber Visitor's center. I've been meaning to add this two story dovetailed beauty to my collection for years. To my surprise I found another one on the way to Vincennes. Posted by Fallen Timbers.
