The Prepared Household Urban Farm

Lying on my swing enjoying the cool breeze, when I heard a loud buzzing. The cherry tree you see peeking around the house was full of bees. We had to catch TWO swarms. They are safely nestled in their boxes now. Also, there is a bird that keeps visiting to eat cat food. Lol.

Planted a high tunnel in November-December. Canning greens. Yes we can can. And with the state of the world today, we better be getting prepared.

Some wonderful things are currently happening on our little homestead this season! Our high tunnels are up and currently housing Green Beans! We've been working on our water catchment system and it is currently functional but not entirely complete! We've also been relocating buildings on the homestead to make room for new and exciting ventures!
