I have dreams of chili too

Pinto, Northern White and Flambo dry beans are going in the ground today. These are all seeds saved from last year: a “bean hack” as the kids say. #foodmakesfood #growyourownfood #beans #gardening

Plain Martha needs to know what’s going on at all times. #bossyhen #chickens #raiseyourownfood #farmlife

It’s magic. There’s no way this much plant came out of a tiny seed, dirt, water and light. #growyourownfood #garden #farmlife #seedlings #zone5

Kacey shares my excitement that the sun is finally out. #cats #farmlife #devonrex #kaceymewgraves

Thanks! She is both my sweet love and a raging killer. Lol

I got a new rug and Tina has been spending the whole morning lounging on it. #cats #farmlife #devonrex

Marigolds and some fancy nasturtium. Other than waking up to snow this morning, the garden prep is moving right along #zone5 #gardening #growyourownfood

Judah wants chicken nuggets, but knows he has to protect our ladies. #farmdog #chickens #raiseyourownfood

My Delaware chicks. #raiseyourownfood #chicks

My germination is through the roof. I am doing a mix of real sunshine and grow lights for the cold loving flowers- it’s been a great combo. They need to move to just sunlight this week when my tomatoes and peppers start and want their lights.

Giving the first round of seedlings a little sunshine. #growyourownfood #zone5 #gardening

Let the games begin! #snapdragons #garden2025

The history of chicken breeds is fascinating. If you have even the slightest bit of curiosity about that statement, go to YouTube and watch a little video about the Delaware breed. I’m even more excited to be adding them to the flock this spring. #delawarechicken #raiseyourownfood #farmerlife

Just ordered new chicks: adding 3 Delaware and 3 Rhode Island Reds to the flock. I’m excited to have chicks again…and tbh, I still have hopes of adding a couple more breeds to the gang. (Not my chickens in the pics: examples of the breeds) #chickens #raiseyourownfood #chickenmath

I used to get nervous pruning, but these neglected raspberries LOVED how aggressive I just was…they may not give as many berries this year, but they are set up for bigger better ones down the line. #pruning #gaygardener #growyourownfood #zone5

At last my arm is complete again…. #gaygardener #pruning #growyourownfood #musicallovingfarmer

It actually kicked in the second year when I started taking over the lawn….

Today is the 5 year anniversary of my gardening journey.

The red squirrel who lives in the maple tree next to the house has been teasing Kacey all day. #cats #squirrels #rurallife

Chickens are hilarious. #rurallife #gaygardener

First attempt at making bread pudding was a huge success. Why haven’t I been making this for years? #soeasy

Officially into the “setting things up” phase for this year’s garden. Cold weather seedlings are just weeks away…. #growyourownfood #gardening #zone5gardener

Looking for a first attempt at growing your own food? Windowsill sprouts are for you. #easygardening #growyourownfood

You: who’s going to top Jason Kelce?

Me: 😏

A large recipe book called “Too Many Eggs”

This book might not be a top seller at the moment….

Slater from Saved By the Bell just told me to sign up for AARP and I don’t know if I needed that reality check this morning.

That’s a spectacular drag king name.

Sir Loin would share a bill with him any day.
