  Yesterday we moved some of the hens around.  Brown-neck, who was with her two chicks came out of the growers coup – and settled back in with the main crowd straight away, without so much as a backward glance at her charges.

• Why food?

  
  Throwback at Trapper Creek — Authority: 417
  I would be rich if I had a dime for every time someone has asked me why we grow most of our own food.  Usually the reasoning is that you can earn money and just buy your food at the store.  We try to explain why we believe the food we grow and eat is better for us and the land, or that it doesn’t compare with ...

When she was in the hospital with a severe bladder infection, we were almost sure she wouldn’t be alive in a week; her kidneys started to fail and she slept nearly all the time. When she was awake, she barely knew us and ...

• waiting for rain

  
  colour it green diary — Authority: 125
  The forecast had given dire warnings of heavy rain for today, so it was with surprise that we woke up to sunshine. We rushed out to make the most of it before the rain came – and that is how the day went. Himself finished digging  over veg bed 8  (only 8 more to go then!), and it was still not raining, so we cut ...

  I’m still not done with those darn “dry” beans!  Sunny days are a precious commodity this time of year.  And as usual 10 things need doing right now – but everyone including me has been getting tired of skirting this hill of beans.  It rained so much that the pods on these plants that were dry, were ...

  Ask Jackie — Authority: 113
  Our beloved old 1010 John Deere crawler, nicknamed “Old Yeller,” is finally getting fixed. Because Will knew it would be a rough job, he kind of put it off. Parts were very hard to find because it’s a 1962 machine. We looked and looked, all across the country, only to find them, just this week, less than 100 ...
