Tom & Jerry Tilling Our Garden

Tom & Jerry arrived here, at Briden Farm, a week ago, and they’ve been busy tilling and fertilizing our proposed Garden plot. See, Tom & Jerry are our Berkshire Pigs, actually fixed, male, pigs are called Barrows, and these Barrows are doing a great job of fertilizing and tilling our garden. So, I guess, I should more accurately say Tom & Jerry are our Barrows! Hmmm… if they do this good a job tilling and fertilizing… can You imagine what would happen if we put Wheels on these Barrows!? 😉 

Poor Man’s Fertilizer

Snow On The Mountain

The old folk taught that late Spring snow was poor man’s fertilizer. Science proves that as Snowflakes form and fall they absorb nitrates from the atmosphere and then release these nutrients into the soil as the snow melts. Then the plants utilize nitrate as an essential nutrient. Research confirms that nitrate improves water use efficiency and protects plants against heat and cold stress! Proving once again that those old folk sure know their stuff!

Vegetable Seed Order from Vesseys

It may seem like a funny thing to some, but when the Vegetable Seed Order arrives from Vesseys it’s almost like Christmas! In fact, not to knock Christmas, but it’s almost better! After all, it means Spring is here, that it’ll soon be time to plant, and before long we’ll be eating fresh vegetables from our gardens. While we’ll be concentrating on growing what we need to survive, we might just have a few left over for sale to others.
