I always jump the gun in the Spring. I look at the catalogs and I plant my seeds indoors, but inveriably I do it all at the wrong time. My seedlings come on strong and then we have extended bad weather, or a late freeze, and I end up starting all over again because my little plants have spent w...

As the weather is so nice we decided to start the goat area. We're going to build 4 areas in total so the goats can move from one the the other. It's slow going as there are so many small oak trees to cut down and move out of the way. We're thinking of using the small trees as the fencing. Wi...
