Homesteading in the 'burbs. Sunday, June 17, 2012. Things are cranking away in the garden right now, its absolutely wonderful! The first blossoms popped up this weekend on the okra and squash, and the potatoes are flowering already! Mmmmm wish it wasn't so tasty! This is a shot of the fire as I drove up on Thursday to get a truckload of stuff off the mountain for my Cousin and her family. This is my Cousin Lisa, Justin, and Jordyn over there on the John Deere. They have a lovely 100 year old cabin ri...

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Thursday, September 29, 2011. 10 Questions answered by photos. I saw this on Alison Turners. Blog, and thought it sounded like a fun idea, so I decided to give it a try. I did not put any explanation behind them, just letting the photos do all the talking. What did you look like as a child? What is your main character trait? What inspires you most? What do you normally never take a picture of? What do you love about photography? What is the first thing you touch in the morning?

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Wednesday, January 18, 2012. I can't believe I have spring fever already, it's way to early for that! I bought some seeds already from my local greenhouse, I just couldn't resist. I swear I have never had the fever this early! Come on spring time! Planning my greenhouse and shed are also causing me to want to get out and start working in the yard, this weekends temps are looking like upper 50's, man, it's going to be hard to stay inside this weekend! Links to this post. With w...

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Things go frosty last week, here's a few photos of that chilly morning! I have a few weeks to catch up on, but here are some shots from the last few weeks,There was a night of chilly temps last week, luckily the soda bottle tops (in that top picture you can see them) covered my seedlings wonderfully and I did not lose any of them. It was a frosty morning, even the tulips were chilled, but it was beautiful! Yay for a beautiful growing spring! I also du...

Homesteading in the 'burbs: Frosty Morning

http://wolfecastle.blogspot.com/2012/10/its-been-awhile-since-i-posted-all.html

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Sunday, October 7, 2012. Naturally since its been so long I have to include a photo of Arty. He was watching his reflection in the water, and then just stared at me while I was taking pictures, it was kinda goofy and I love the pic with the garden in the background. Here is a shot of the Ghost peppers, aka Bhut Jolokia. I grew this summer, finally got them to flower, and produce fruit. I think mother nature giving us over 71 days of 90 degree really did the trick this year!

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Wednesday, July 4, 2012. I have a few little pumpkins on the vines, they are getting curly and doing my favorite thing running their little green viney fingers all over the garden. I love those plants. The okra is doing well, its happy it also seems to be happy in the heat. I love this small okra budding out and doing its thing, it kinda looks like a little green fist, GREEN POWER! The new strawberry bed is doing really really well, I am so excited about that. Can't wait!

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Monday, October 31, 2011. Got home tonight and rather then hand out candy, I had to dig up a few things in the yard, namely, the horseradish. This was the second season of the horseradish, and they are not kidding when they say that any bit of the root left behind will grow. The old roots grew, the plant size doubled, and the roots are amazing! Links to this post. Monday, October 24, 2011. A few weeks of fun. If its Punkin Chunkin. My Cotton finally began to bloom! When I retu...

Homesteading in the 'burbs: February 2012

http://wolfecastle.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Homesteading in the 'burbs. Saturday, February 4, 2012. A much needed snow day.well snow weekend. I shoveled 3 times since Thursday, my back hurting, I was cold, wet, yet grateful for every move I could make. Even if I slipped, or didn't get that perfect shovel full of snow, and it took me twice as long to clear it all away. Who cares! It was something so simple that I have been taking for granted. Our lives are so precious, my life, my family, how did I lose sight of that? Dear sorrows and demons,.
