brassicaceae bandit!

Well just as I thought we were really starting to get on track as things were starting to take off with growth...I awoke to find all the broccoli & kohlrabi gone!!!Not sure who or what the culprit was,but so far the cabbage & brussels sprouts are still ok in the big bed.The corn is doing great I think,the tomato hanger is up and in use with the cucumber buckets in place below the sides.I've even started the boothby's climbing up some bamboo sticks.Pumpkins are all alive & blossoming,melons are still in question,and I feel it's official no peas from the pack I ordered.Will try again in next few days,fingers crossed.Here are a few picks of the place right now.

Here comes the sun!

Rather the sun has returned,and so have to the fields!All the prep work feels so worth it when we're out there in the sunshine working.I forgot that the girls would go into my raised bed if left untended and well thear's just what they did! They enjoyed the heck out of my spinach and carrots,but I ran up to check on my then to quiet hens before they moved on to the chard & beets.They did help themselves to some lettuce,but didn't destroy it.

Papa bought us a used tiller,and I've dubbed her Gloria!I've thanked him,and given in to what a great idea he had to buy one.My frugal side fought him long enough,and well he was right!We got work done in no time that was taking me forever to do.So THANK YOU again Papa! You were right!xxx Here are some pics of what's been doin'here at Berried Ledges.....

We're still here.....

Well we're still here,and I'm guessing you are too.Here's what we were doing today!Having a little chicken time,and weren't those lil'ones glad to get out of the brooder for a bit!

We have a Name for our Homestead!

We've got rocks and ledge to spare,and last summer we discovered we had berries & brambles to spare too! And so with some thought over the winter months and some names we never really cared for crossed off.While ordering my seeds from Fedco,the name just fell on me.Are you ready for this?.....Berried Ledges! What do you think? I'll be working on a logo for a sign,after all what's a homestead without a sign?

I know it's been a long while,but I do have pictures and info to share so I'll be working out a consistent time to jot things down and get y'all caught up soon.Hope you're having a great spring.
