We decided to try our hands a dehydrating our own eggs. We used a bakers dozen for our first try. We will rehydrate them for cooking with two parts water to one part eggs.

Today we raked back the straw covering the red Inchelium garlic we planted last fall. It looks like it s doing well. Hopefully we will have plenty of garlic this year with some left over to plant again this fall.

Mother came over today to help me use up some of our fresh eggs. We ended up making 8 batches of egg noodles. They’re spread out to dry all over our home. This will be the first time my girls have ever had any.
Canned purple top turnips and greens

A gentleman in the neighborhood was offering to share his bounty of purple top turnips if you’d come out and pick them. We took advantage of his generosity and brought home a mess. We left eggs so I hope we are both happy.
We ate several and then I canned up eight pints last night.

Fall Garden Planting of Inchelium Red Garlic
September 27th, 2012
No comments
I’m not a big garlic expert or anything, so my choice in what to use my first year of planting garlic was based solely on my personal tastes. In the end I went with Inchelium Red garlic that we purchased online from a small business in Colorado.
The bed for the garlic was tilled after adding a mixture of old straw and grass clippings to the soil. The cloves were planted two inches deep and 6 inches apart with the root end of each clove down. The patch was staked off with wooden stakes to keep me from forgetting its location. A few fresh grass clippings were scattered on the bed.

Adding natural fertilizer to the garden

My awesome neighbor brought me a load of composted cow manure and hay for the garden. After spreading it out and letting it dry completely we hit it with the tiller and worked it into the soil. I think it looks wonderful.

Berries on the Mulberry trees

Several of the Mulberry trees in the back yard have berries on them already. I’ve never done anything with them except allow the chickens to enjoy them once they hit the ground.
Building additional chicken pens
April 11th, 2012

We are adding an additional chicken pen next to the existing pen for the Cornish cross chicks we are getting. These chicks will be kept separate from the other chickens so we can keep them on different feed to get them big and fat for butcher.
The wire and gate were all free and the corner posts were on hand. So far our only expense for this project will be hinges and the spring to keep the gate closed!
