Remembering Less Squirrely Times
This year we're overrun by ground squirrels, but we used to have the best squirrel control ever -- dachshunds! Check out the video to see why.

Me and Gaucho have been friends for over 14 years and he still follows me around the yard today. As chickens go, he's one of the best.
I get almost 5 pounds of fresh vegetables and herbs per square foot from this simple, organic, and sustainable keyhole garden, and you can too!
After a rough hot/cold winter that killed 3 separate rounds of seedlings, I'm trying again to get the vegetable garden started before spring.
A week of rain, 3 inches of cold mud and slop. The ducks couldn't be happier.
The greenhouse is empty in summer but in fall all the tender plants migrate back to it. It's dirty, sad now, but this weekend it'll be clean and in full leaf.
Celebrating summer with a photo gallery of all the varieties of sunflowers growing on the Acre. (Links to the seed sources are included in the post.)
Hard to tell from the photo, but that's a mama duck and (at least) two new babies in a nest in the lavender. Check them on the live stream in a few days.
I took a bunch of photos of my Golden dewdrop covered blue flowers to show how many bees were in it. This is the only pic I got of one and it's not even a bee.
Today we're smoking a pork butt with oak wood that's been soaking in fermenting hot peppers for 4 months. I'm kind of excited to see hot the vanilla from the oak and grassy funk from the peppers come together in the pulled pork.
