Yeah we never did get corn in yet. Our meat birds will be ready for processing here in a few weeks, along with about 15 Dorking roosters. Yummy! Our farm party is July 19 (you're all invited, seriously! We're in Marshall, WI. Look Parkfield Farm up on FB for the address) where we will enjoy the Jackie meat birds on the rotisserie. I wanted the corn for that party too, but ope.
Bigz, our farm computer died the other day too, and we bought it just three years ago for $800. Killed me to have to order a new one. This time we just went as cheap as possible since it's mostly internet/cloud based work and doesn't have to do anything too hefty.
Our plant sale went off less productive than we'd hoped, but we're still getting things in the ground over here. I had plans to remove the herbs from the herb bed, weed/till, then replant the herbs in a different bed, but now we might scrap the whole thing after I go try to find the horseradish at least to rescue it. Nearly everything else we have starts for to replace it. Maybe I'll try to save some chives too. Yummm. The herb bed is 20' x 30' so I should get going soon.
The Scotch Cap/black Raspberries we transplanted last year into rows are doing well. I guess you're not supposed to cultivate them but we love them so much and can't get through the woods to the self cultivated ones so this was our solution. The mulberry trees are alive with nattering birds and rodents and the ground underneath is full of raccoon and groundhog poo. Our 20yo keeps talking about mulberry jam and I keep encouraging her to hurry up.
Hoping to work with some of the elderflower blossoms this year, too, and have to get to the hickory nuts soon. Have to decide right now if we're going to do nocino again too. Hmmmmm. I think I need to clone myself.
