Oh my! It’s been busy with life-stuff so there hasn’t been as much farm-stuff going on, but we are still plugging away.
This weekend was the start of addressing the annual or semi-annual chores. The chicken coop had already been cleaned, but the goat barn/shed was in dire need. So we put up temporary pasture fencing (stock panels) up in the clearing, moved the goats to the pasture, removed a section of our terribly done (but surprisingly sturdy) fencing around the goats yard and used the tractor to remove the old bedding. Afterwards we put a stock panel up in the place of the missing fence for easier future access via tractor. It took most of the afternoon and I have several more mosquito bites and Bengt got in to a couple nettle patches, but it was still far more efficient than doing it by hand as we have in the past which required 4 people and several days to complete.
A couple weekends ago we got the “raised beds” in place. We ended up running out of time for the grand plans so we went with a quick and dirty solution of creating temporary beds with hardware cloth. I’m just happy all of my plants were able to get out of the greenhouse before this most recent heat wave occurred.
The rest of this weekend is supposed to be fencing off an area for the upcoming layers to start free range and get them out of the hoop coop. They’ve been doing well in the hoop coop (in the picture above) getting moved around to fresh grass but it’s not a good long term solution (it doesn’t have nesting boxes) and the new hens in the brooder box are well past old enough to move out. So we plan to move the upcoming layers (technically the “yellow” flock but we haven’t banded them yet) to range houses/pasture and the brooder box hens (and three roos) to the hoop coop until they are big enough that I don’t need to worry about the ravens. All of this is a little tedious but we are sort of developing a routine/process.
Bengt is thrilled at the prospect of having the garage chicken-free for the rest of the summer, especially considering we are due for more hay so right now there’s quite a bit more space to get in and clean out the “chicken dust”.
We took care of feeding and milking for our friends at Misty Eyed Goat Farm a few weeks ago and in trade got to keep the milk. We scored about a gallon total and earlier this week I was out of milk in the fridge so I grabbed out the smallest jar, a pint, and let it thaw in the fridge. That is some really tasty milk. Goat milk gets such a bad rap but unfortunately the stuff that makes it to market isn’t as lovingly tended as this is. It was amazingly good and there is absolutely no way the average person would know it’s not the cow’s milk they are so accustomed to. Just absolutely stunning really. I plan on turning some of it in to goat yogurt and hope I have enough left to make some cheese.
Here is the belated garden update. I’ve had a few of my direct sows do poorly (beets, cucumbers, parsnips, chard, and summer squash) so I’ll probably pick up transplants for the cucumbers and squash real soon here. We also didn’t get around to planting a few things that I have seed for, but there is always next year. We added some other things that I hadn’t planned on growing so it all kind of washes out. I’ve never had good luck starting beets and starting summer squash so I’ll blame those on mother nature… or something.
Harvesting:
Alpine Strawberries (wild), Arugula, Chives, Kale, Head and Leaf Lettuce, Lavender, Miner’s Lettuce, Mustard Greens, Nasturtiums, Nettles (wild), Oregano, Radishes, Sage, Salmonberries (wild), Sorrel, Spinach, Sugar Snap Peas, Thimbleberries.
In the garden/containers/or beds:
Basil, Beets, Blueberries, Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Carrots, Cascade Hops, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Green Beans, Leeks, Mint (several kinds), Parsnips, Peppers (sweet and hot), Rhubarb, Soy Beans, Storage Onions, Summer Squash, Sunflowers, Swiss Chard, Tomatoes, and Winter Squash.
Running wild:
Blackberries.
On sort of related note I’ve started sprouting again. I had bought some fancy plastic sprouter (I nicknamed it the sprout-inator) and the damned thing just never worked. The seeds would always rot before doing anything. So I decided to go with stainless steel mesh inserts for quart sized canning jars instead. It also fits with my desire to eschew plastics, particularly in food prep. For $3 a piece (a fraction of the stupid sprout-inator) they’ve worked wonderfully. Simple, elegant, and effective. So we are now enjoying primarily organic sprouts from seed I ordered from some old hippies in San Francisco (it was the closest I could find for organic seeds that weren’t overpriced). Eventually I’d like to grow our own sprouting seed, but I think I need to get a better hang of growing other foods first. My hope is to use sprouts to get us off of less local/conventional greens during the winter. Not to mention, I just really like sprouts anyway 
We got the last of the scheduled planting done the same weekend we did our final slaughter and we are starting to be able to harvest some of our bounty. I also need to work on better succession planting this year as I tend to get distracted after the first big wave of planting and fail to do so. We are a little behind on getting a few things out and building the raised beds for the warm weather vegetables, but I’m hoping we can catch up. Right now they are in the green house and seem to be doing okay with that.

We are having a bit of a predator problem.
We had been monitoring the diminishing chicken population for the free-range laying flock (the “pink chickens”) farthest from the house, but it kind of came to a head a couple weeks ago when we actualy saw a full size coyote kill what turned out to be his second chicken for the morning. Excitement abound as the dogs take their role as farm protectors quite seriously and need little encouragement to understand what wild life we consider “bad”. We’ve had some very tired, dirty, (and slightly uncontrollable) dogs of late as soon as the lab, Mars, gets the faintest whiff or sight of the coyote and takes off like the wind in pursuit.
We’ve been held up on clearing to get up fencing due to issues with both the chain saw and tractor so we haven’t had too many options, and the situation was slowly but surely tipping from the ‘live and let live’ to the ‘need to protect our livestock’. The flock count has dropped to a fraction of what it was and several had taken up living in the goats barn and fenced yard. Two more started showing up on our front porch, prefering to sleep on the porch light above our front door bell rather than take their chances elsewhere (not a bad plan really).
So we’ve moved the remaining hens in with the “backyard flock” in the coop next to the house under Boot’s care. I’m just really hoping the coyote doesn’t deside to venture so close to the house now that his buffet has disappeared. He hasn’t shown interest, that we can tell, in the meat birds as they are enclosed in a chicken tractor (portable pen), but I also can’t image that poultry netting would really be that much of a hinderance if he changes his mind.
I’ve become less resistant to the shot gun being in the house in light of this turn of events. I can say that with certainty.
In other news we sowed out all of the direct sow vegetables this past weekend and some of the transplants we started in side. I also moved some more transplants from the house (under the growlight and with heat) to the unheated greenhouse to start their transition to the garden. I’m still really pleased with the garden plan and guidelines provided from www.growveg.com. It certainly made things a bit quicker and easier, particularly with Bengt’s help.
We still need to get started on the front beds/container garden for all of our warmer weather vegetables/herbs. I need to build two more bean teepees and plant those since I ran out of materials this weekend. I also need to plant the few annual flowers I’m trying this year (sweet peas, nasturtiums, and poppies). I realize the nasturtiums are actually edible, but they are going in the flower bed regardless. We also added a few marigold seeds to the vegetable garden in the hopes of discouraging some of the bad insects.
Currently in the garden/containers/or beds:
Head and Leaf Lettuce, Miner’s Lettuce, Spinach, Mustard, Brussel Sprouts, Radishes, Carrots, Storage Onions, Sugar Snap Peas, Green Beans, Kale, Parsnips, Rhubarb, Storage Onions, Chives, Cabbage, Sorrel, Lavender, Oregano, Cascade Hops, Sage, and Blueberries.
Still to (trans)plant:
Soy Beans, Beets, Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Potatoes, Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Herbs, Corn, Sunflowers, Nasturtiums.

* Things we are currently harvesting.
It’s been a little bit exciting around these parts!
Over the weekend we made a wrong turn and ended up driving around the back of a local grocery store. I pointed out a commercial fridge/freezer out by the broken baskcarts and wondering aloud if it worked and/or was available. Bengt quickly got excited and when we went inside to pick up whatever it was that we were buying we found the supervisor and asked. She had no idea what the deal with it was and suggested we call back on Monday for the manager. So we called back Monday but the Dairy guy had left so the manager said to call back on Tuesday morning. We called back on Tuesday morning and the Dairy guy was out sick, but the manager seemed to be impressed with our deligence and the thing had been sitting outside so he said we could take it. We figured it probably didn’t work, but it was worth trying, so we threw it in the back of the car on our way to work.
When we got home Bengt eagerly set it back up right on the patio and we let it sit overnight for all the fluids to settle. Wednesday morning he fired it up and low and behold, by last night, it was 28 degrees! It actually works!
Behold! The Misc. Farm egg fridge!
Right now it’s sitting on our front patio, so we need to move it in to the garage, but this was one of my big worries about increasing our laying flock. We can hold about 16 dozen eggs in our fridge, but we lose an entire shelf of storage and that wasn’t going to scale well for increasing our flock (we normally have 4-8 dozen eggs in our fridge at any given time). This is perfect AND FREE!
Big Agri gave something back to little agri this week (with out knowing). I call that a win! Bengt already has plans to make new signage for it
In other news I got the call from the Washington State Department of Agriculture Inspector in our area to start our licensing/inspection for on-farm slaughter. I have an appointment with her for next week to do the licensing paperwork and walk them through our set up. Then they will come out again on one of our slaughter days to inspect/observe us in action.
I was honestly quite nervous about the whole licensing/inspection thing. We are a small farm and are slaughtering only 20-25 chickens for consumer sales, partly as a trial to determine if it’s “worth it” to do in the future (both financially, fiscally, and legally). You hear all the horror stories about how government is run by big bussiness and the little (wo)man is being pushed out, but so far every person I’ve dealt with in Washington State government in regards to our little farm has been incredibly friendly and helpful. The inspector was great over the phone, helping me come up to speed on what to expect. I’m actually looking forward to their visit because I think I will learn more from them.
Lastly, the garden was tilled up last weekend and last night we planted the peas and got the stakes pounded in for their trellis. It’s officially gardening season!
We finished the hoop coop early last week and moved the meat birds in to their new “home”. The tarping could use some work, but I was trying to save a little using some tarp scraps we had. Despite the ugliness it seems to be keeping the chickens dry (if not terribly warm). We will probably rework the tarping soon. Otherwise the chickens seem much happier to be out of the brooder. We expected to need to move the coop with the tractor but instead moved it both with the truck and by hand and it’s pretty easy to move (on flat ground anyway). We need to reinforce a few things, but otherwise I’m quite pleased.
The tractor is supposed to be back this week, but it was also supposed to be back last week and a few weeks before that. The dealer/service seems to find something new each time they look at it. I’m not terribly pleased with them right now. We’ve not had it for almost two months. Thank goodness we don’t rely on it at this point.
I’ve got almost all of my seeds started that need to be started indoors at this point. The girls even planted a few while they were here so I have some rather early corn (it was Eva’s choice) so we’ll see how that holds up. I’ve already had to pot it up. About the only thing not completely sprouted are my peppers, but that’s pretty normal. We are scheduled to start direct sowing and getting things ready to transplant in the next few weeks so it’s time to break out the tiller and potato boxes.
My parents made a surprise visit this week, up from Oregon. They brought a goat stanchion my Dad had made for us as a holiday present. My Mother always insists on being put to work so I took a day off of work and we made quick work of some outstanding chores:
- Trim goat hooves: This has to be done regularly and has historically been a two man job because we didn’t have a goat stand. It’s MUCH easier to do with the stand and some grain to distract the girls.
- Clean chicken coop: We do a full litter change of the cedar shed chicken coop by the house about twice a year. We also scrubbed and sanitized their feed and water, scraped down the roosts, and refilled everything including their oyster shells and the bedding in the nesting boxes.
- Fence and reseed backyard: This isn’t really farm related but needed to be done. Last year’s leaves suffocated the grass and the chickens have been keeping it well turned and any hint of reemerging grass eaten. The moss was starting to take over as well. So we fenced it off from the chickens so we could add some garden lime and reseed. Once everything is established the chickens won’t be able to keep on top of it.
- Planted more seeds: It was time to start my tomatoes and peppers inside. So far the only real failure I’ve had for seed starting was some chives and onions, but I already have chives so that’s not a big deal. I may try starting onions from sets since starting from seed is so problematic.
- Scrubbed the back patio: Chickens traverse the back patio alot and even like to hang out right outside the back door. This leads to lots of “presents” on the patio. I still need to scrub off the front patio.
It wasn’t really on the chore list, but Mom tends to bring out the gardener in me. We broadcast a bunch of “wildflower” mix and seeds I’d saved in to the front flower garden now that it’s been fenced off from the chickens. Maybe I’ll have a cut flower garden after all!
About the only spring chores that are left right now are to do the spring cleaning of the goat shed (waiting on the tractor for that), finish the hoop coop, and to prep the garden. We are off work next week so I’m sure there will be lots of activity.
We celebrated the return of the sun this year with a dinner among friends and family and a resolution for the coming year. Our resolution is to not purchase any meat of unknown origin/treatment (and by that I really mean origin/treatment that we agree with). The big thing we are currently challenged by is pork. We don’t have any friends raising pigs that we are aware of and haven’t ventured in to that yet ourselves. It wouldn’t be quite so bad but our daughters managed to eat through the last three packages of bacon while they were here so we are out. It’s nearly impossible to find sustainably raised bacon because the demand far outstrips the supply and is completely out of balance with the idea of utilizing the whole pig. People just consume far more bacon than they do other pork products. We know of at least one farm locally that sells pork belly during the market season and year-round from the farm. Since it’s not cured or smoked people don’t seem to know what to do with it so it’s generally available. So we will probably embark on trying to make our own bacon in the near future to fill the gap and/or look to purchase a half pig this year.
We decided to set a “January resolution” as well. Partly out of necessity. We had decided we would wait until after the holidays and try to do some overhauls on our spending so we could try to save some money to reinvest in to the property. Couple that with the travel expenses, septic repairs, and truck repairs in the last 6 weeks or so and we could really do with a good dose of belt-tightening. So for January we have resolved not to buy any food or go out to eat. Realistically it’s not zero, but as little as possible (for example, we need flour so we will buy that or buy wheat berries to mill our own). Through the winter we often “slack” and get a weekly delivery of organic produce to fill in some of the gaps (it’s not all local, sadly). We are keeping the weekly produce delivery, but it’s a relatively low cost and good value. It also has the effect of keeping us out of veggie ruts and forcing us to try new things. We figure that the challenge should have positive effects on both our wallet and our waistlines. We also could use a little eating down on the freezer/pantry. I tend to buy stuff on deals and stockpile like the end of the world is coming. We want to make room in the freezer for a nice local spring lamb or two and that pig I mentioned. It’s also hard to justify growing/canning more food when we still have plenty from the previous year (or two).
I’ve been plotting and planning for this year’s back yard garden already. I’m using growveg.com which looks very promising. We are also discussing building raised beds for the front yard garden instead of using all of the containers. They work relatively well but look like a cluttered mess. I’ve resolved to only buy seeds that are really needed this year. The last two years I’ve gone browsing through the seed catalogs in the dead of winter and ended up with all kinds of things I don’t need (they are sneaky that way, sending the catalogs when you are yearning for just about anything green and growing). So far eggplants and celery are the only thing on my list that I need to buy. To help avoid the over purchasing I’m also going to pick them up at the local garden store instead of mail order so I can’t justify making the shipping costs worth it as a reason to buy more seed.
The new flock of baby chicks is just about a month old now and doing great. They are whizzing around the brooder box still and we had to upgrade their feeder and water fount to larger sizes to keep them from emptying them while we were at work. We were just discussing this morning where they are going to range and the housing situation. We may free range them even though I had originally decided not to, just because we really need to do more clearing before we have space to fence and the tractor has been out of commission for several months (seems like a trend around here).
So far this winter has been really good for our current laying flock. Of the original 13 purchased we have all but 1, but we still have 1 from last year’s flock. It seems like we’ve typically lost more than that. We started with 12 or 13 last year and by the time they were laying we only had 8 hens and 1 rooster. We currently have 11 hens and 1 rooster. Egg sales have been going very well and we have far more demand than supply most of the time. It always disappoints me to tell someone I can’t sell them eggs because I think they are just the most wonderful things and everyone that wants them should get an opportunity. So I look forward to the new flock starting to lay and giving me more inventory to work with.
We are still planning on getting another flock this spring and I’m hoping to include a few laying and/or meat ducks in the order as well as some chickens for meat again. We won’t be doing the cornish-x again so I haven’t quite decided on how I want to approach things. I can either get a straight run of the hens we want and hope the roo to hen ratio isn’t too far off, or we can order sexed roos and hens individually. I think it costs about the same either way. I’m also eliciting assistance from our oldest daughter (10 later this January) in helping to select some of the laying hens. I’m excited to see what she chooses. At some point we need to invest in an incubator and just hatch our own chicks. We’ll get there eventually.
I’m practically counting the days until mid-February when I can start my seeds!
- Sugar Snap Peas
…or more specifically peas really.
The garden is doing pretty well this year. Last year I didn’t plant enough cold weather vegetables and this year has been unseasonable warm so I didn’t plant enough warm weather vegetables. Mother nature is a trickster.
The variety of Sugar Snap Peas I planted are extremely tall. It’s a good thing I learned from last year and over built the trellis because they’ve climbed 6 feet and beyond at this point. The plants are heavily loaded with peas and blooms now. I foresee a lot of peas in our near future.
The radishes keep going to seed rather than actually creating radishes and I’ve heard radish seeds are tasty too so I’ve debated letting them. The mustard greens bolt pretty quickly so they went to seed before we ate much of them. I’m letting them go to seed so I can collect the seeds also though. The lettuces have all been hanging in there. We haven’t harvested very many, but the few we have are on their second growing at this point. The cauliflower, kale, brussel
Squash blossoms
sprouts, and beets are still growing but quite slowly. I don’t know if the heat has just been too much for them, but I haven’t given up on them yet. We did lose this year’s blueberries to the heat. The vegetable garden is on a timer to ensure it gets water but the blueberries are elsewhere and didn’t get enough water. We purchased a couple squash starters when I didn’t get seeds started in time and they are doing pretty well. The variety doing the best is the “eight ball” which we’ve already harvested two zukes from. I have to resist the urge to pull all the squash blossoms off the plants and stuff/fry them though. I could have planted things more densely again this year and I thought I had over last year but I still see lots of room to plant. I did make one rather silly mistake with my beans this year. I planted a variety I *thought* were pole beans and it turned out they were bush beans. Fortunately they seem to be pretty forgiving and are still putting on beans despite that they are rather crowded and have silly strings hanging above them.
In the front containers I have all my full sun plants and they are all doing fabulously well with the drip system we put in place (and is also on a timer). I have lots of green tomatoes (both small and full size) and the herbs are flourishing. The pepper plants are doing well, although I had to replant a couple the slugs demolished.
In the wild plants we had quite a showing of the alpine strawberries and even had enough to pick a small bowlful for strawberry shortcake. I don’t know if they are liking all the sun we’ve had or the fact that Bengt didn’t mow the hill side they are on. They seem to flourish the most where they are nestled in the tall grasses. The salmonberries are mostly done at this point and the thimbleberries are just starting to heat their peak. We seem to have two varieties of blackberries and the earlier, smaller variety is starting to ripen.
Currently in the garden:
Head and Leaf Lettuce*, Brussel Sprouts, Red Beets, Radishes*, Carrots, Walla Walla Onions, Cauliflower, Sugar Snap Peas*, Shelling Peas*, Green Beans, Kale, Potatoes, Zucchinis, and Cucumbers.
Currently in the container garden:
Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplant, Fennel*, Sage*, Orange Mint*, Basil, and Dill*.
Currently running wild:
Alpine Strawberries, Thimbleberries*, and Blackberries.

Peas
Over the last few weeks the garden has really been taking off.
In the backyard garden the peas are waist high and showing no signs of stopping. The mustard greens are starting to bolt and we are debating letting them, to collect the coriander mustard seeds (confusing the mustard with the cilantro that keeps going to seed in the kitchen). The lettuces are all doing well and the cooler weather vegetables are holding in there despite some unseasonably warm weather.
In the front container garden we have several varieties of tomatoes growing. The ones I started from seed got fried in the greenhouse on an unusually hot day so these are from starts we picked up from a random person selling them at the end of their driveway. They were a stellar deal at $1.50 a plant when similar ones were going for $4+ at the farmers market. We also have fennel, eggplant, sage, orange mint and two peppers in containers. Unfortunately slugs got to two of the peppers before I found organic slug bait, but the remaining two and all the others are doing much better now.
We installed a drip system in the container garden that is fed by a rain barrel, although once we got it up we got one or two more rains and it hasn’t really rained since. So right now it’s hooked up to the well spigot. I plan to install drip in the backyard garden too but just keep procrastinating it.
My strawberries continue to do very well in the greenhouse so I haven’t bothered to move them out. We’ve been snacking on them each evening when we close the chicken coop and take the dogs out.
We’ve also have tarragon, 2 kinds of cilantro, and oregano growing in a pot on the kitchen counter for some time.
The salmonberries are coming in all over the property right now and as
Backyard Morels
always it’s fun to watch the chickens eat them. Even the new chickens go crazy for the berries when I toss them in their yard. The goats enjoy the berries too.
Much to our shock and pleasure while weeding around outside the backyard garden fence we discovered a little patch of morels growing. After much research and disbelief we confirmed that they were indeed morels. I can also confirm that they caused no ill effects when eaten either. We have no idea what we did to encourage the morels to grow, but we are hoping that it continues in future years.
I still need to plan squash if it’s not too late and start succcession planting the radishes, carrots, and peas.

Centennial Hops
How does your garden grow?
With Silver Bells, And Cockle Shells,
And so my garden grows.
We made great progress on the garden this weekend! We got the sugar snap peas, shelling peas, and green beans in the ground and the pea trellises up. I took a lesson from last year and have planted the peas and beans more heavily this time around. I also plan on doing some succession plantings of the peas in particular. In the backyard garden the cool vegetables are happy for almost the entire summer so I’m going to try to use that to my advantage. With the pea tendrils as well as the the actual pods being edible it would seem arguable that one can never have too few pea plants. We were also very happy with the harvest of green beans we got last year and have coveted the garlicky beans we canned through out the winter (only one jar left!).
Potato boxes at the end of the season
The seed potaotes are on the kitchen counter to start sprouting and Bengt pulled out the potato boxes, disassembled them, and put them in their spots. In doing so he discovered a secret clutch of chicken eggs hidden inside one. We had simply been storing the boxes on the far side of the house under the eaves for the winter. This puts them out of sight and doesn’t use up space in the garge or greenhouse. It also puts them very close to the dryer vent and across a small patch of grass from the compost pile, both favorite roosting spots for our free range chickens. We had noticed the egg count drop after the winter passed but just chalked it up to other changes. We don’t think the hen that left the clutch is still with us unfortunately, or I’d try to encourage her behavior. There were only five eggs and they were clearly undeveloped. We are honestly surprised that they weren’t in worse shape considering the cold nights we still have some what frequently.
There are still kale, cabbage, and herb starts on the kitchen counter waiting for a few more leaves before they can get transitioned out to the garden as well. The tomato starts in the kitchen need to be potted up and moved to the greenhouse. The hops Bengt planted last year have come back as have the chives, blueberries, and columnar apples. In the way of wild/forage around the farm the salmonberries and alpine strawberries are starting to bloom and the dandelions are out in full force.
