July 13th to the 19th


Last night we received 1.6 inches of rain.


The rain should give everything a much needed boost. We're still really behind for precipitation this season, but any amount rain is welcome.


Some of our rye from last year. This year we have more planted and its looking pretty good (pictures on the way).


We've been adding rye to the pigs food. We soak it overnight, drain it, then add dried molasses. Eventually we would like to grow 100% of our livestock feed.


Putting down some mulch around the onions. We mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Mulch can also reduce soil erosion.
