Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

To eat or make oil? Wish they could grow in my climate!

Arbequina.

Potentially, both. Depending on how well they do, I may plant more.

Did you know that squirrels love GREEN strawberries

Don't blame them. I love green ones too

Arbequina.

Hmmm... over wintered in my green house...?

But our really cold spell did take out the kale that had sprouted in pots, under cover.

Arbequina don't get huge - big bush/small tree size - so you clould overwinter the first year or two, maybe as much as five years if you have monster pots and a way to move them. But after that, you are either giving the green house over to the olives, or not overwintering anymore.

3 yr old arbequina maybe 3.5' tall. 5 year old, as much as 6' tall. (likely shorter, but with a 4' root ball...) Full grown? 15-20' tall.

Looks like more rain this weekend. Will candle the duck eggs, see how that's going, maybe spend a little time walking the elelectric fence (its overdue), start reorganizing the freezer. If I'm lucky, I'll be able to send a few birds to freezer camp - but mostly NOT expecting a productive weekend.

We have some rain coming too but the temps are suppose to be nice. If I can finish prepping the bed before the rain comes I will plant my green peas this weekend.

I feel the need to play in the dirt.

/edit and prune the grapes, and the roses. Hopefully the rain will be at least a little warm.

Three more weeks before I can put some of the new purchases in the ground.

^ This. So much this. ^

I could not wait on playing in the dirt.

Inside under lights. More to do.

I should probably start my long growers soon. I just don't know when to without them being too big indoors by the time the outside is safe to plant them
