This Past Week Around the Farmette ..........................



We've been busy again this week, Dh and I trimmed the goats hooves on Monday.


Dh has been getting the garden ready for planting the garlic , we'll be planting in the next week or so.


I've been cleaning up this years harvest of garlic , getting it ready for storage and saving the biggest cloves for planting. I want to make some garlic jelly this week and I may pickle some too.


Remember the heirloom blueberry bush , I decided to move it again. This is the third time I've moved it. I didn't feel like it was getting enough sun , so I moved it to the edge of the garden. I know it will get full sun there. Hopefully the third time will be a charm and it will grow huge and provide us with plenty of blueberries.



The hens are happy with their clean , fresh hay filled nest.


Well , everyone except for her , she's moulting and looks so pitiful.


I've also canned 13 quarts of potatoes this week. I've been canning all the small potatoes and the ones that have bad spots , that can't be stored. I hope to can at least 2 more batches. We're going to have to add another shelf to the pantry (LOL).


I gathered the last of the red clover I saw in the field, although it's not much. I want to make a little red clover salve to have on hand.
So as you can see , it's been busy around here. That's why I've haven't been blogging or visiting much. Hope everyone is well and having a great weekend.
