TOMATOES, EGGS, CHICKENS, STRAWBERRIES DOG/ROOSTER PLAYING AND HAVING FUN(HOMESTEAD UPDATE)

LOTS OF GOOD STUFF HAPPENING!!!

On the farm in town, we are starting to reap the benefits of all our work earlier this spring. Food on the farm takes a lot longer and a lot more work then just running to the store to get it. But it always tastes so much better. And we have the benefits of knowing exactly what has been put into our food. So let's get this started...

The tomatoes

We planted tomato plants this spring and they are doing amazing!!!

*I laced them through our fence and they love it...over 6 feet(2 meters) tall so far and full of ripening tomatoes.

The chickens have started pulling their weight.

Two days ago I collected our first two eggs from our hens and we got one more yesterday as well. I'm extremely excited about this as it is a continuous food source and eggs are really delicious!!😁😁

*My friend, Little Green...she is the layer of the green egg and one of my favorite of all my chickens. She will fly up to my shoulder to hang out with me when I call her.

*A video of our Cattle dog playing with our main rooster Big Green. They are hilarious to watch.😂🤣 Tell me in the comments who you think won.

STRAWBERRIES

The strawberries that were planted are producing small delicious red treasures. They are really sweet and I usually check them and the tomato plants each morning and eat tomatoes and strawberries for breakfast when I can. And with the recent addition of eggs...breakfast gets a good boost.😁

*See my bounty from this morning. And soon we will be getting a lot more each day as the chickens and plants are slowly increasing their production.

WORKHORSE SOLD

To fund some necessary things in life, I had to sell our white Ford Super Duty. Plus it was just too nice for the homesteading life and was doomed to be slowly destroyed.😁😁

NOT MUCH MORE

That's about it for now, but I'll leave you all with some fun pictures from the last month or so of our homesteading fun...

*Blackberries that we used to make two and a half gallons of jelly and six pies.

*A Timber Rattler I ran into out at the homestead a couple weeks ago. He was about six feet long and looked healthy. Mice shouldn't be a problem around my place.😂😅😅



That's all I have for now. I hope you enjoyed my little piece of attempted blogging.😂 And to all of my friends and supporters who have been along with us for our insane adventure, we thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts and truly appreciate each and every one of you!!!🤗🤗🤗






And to all my dear friends who contacted me recently, I really appreciate all the love and support you were all willing to give. You all are truly amazing. I won't tag, because you all know who you are and I know you are reading this. Thanks yous so much for all your do. I send all my love.
