Sunset Ridge Series - Year Two of A Homestead Garden

Gardening was passed down to both of us from our families. We’ve spent many hours of our lives prepping, planting, watering, wedding, and picking a garden. We plan to continue this well into our late lives, and passing the passion on to our boys. On this episode we’re talking about garden follies from last year, what we’re doing to fix it this year, and what some of our plans are for the future. Issues faced last year * Planting our first garden at the new house came with many issues, including rocks… lots and lots of rocks * Many of our taller crops (corn, okra, etc) didn’t grow to full height. It was stunted for some unknown reason * Fungi killed all of our gourds and cucumbers * Green Beans never made enough to eat What we’re doing this year * This year we’ve relocated our squash, zucchini, and cucumbers to separate areas in the garden so they won’t interact with each other, and to keep the fungi from killing both crops if it comes back.  * Corn and Okra are planted with more spacing in between, and moved locations in the garden * We will eventually have 7 rows of Green Bean plants (if they’ll ever come up) Future Plans  * Our plans really are the same. Provide fresh produce for ourselves, our family, and anyone in our area in need * We will once again try to sell the bulk product at the local feed store * We will be canning WAY MORE produce this year than last, along with saving seeds from our crops to replant with next year

Sunset Ridge - Poultry Farming At Home

Welcome to Season 2! As you may remember last season we discussed our inability to keep our chicken brood alive, and that we had started over. Since Season 1’s end, we have added many more chickens to our coop, and unfortunately begun losing some as well. Darn Bird Flu. On this episode, we’re discussing the newest edition of poultry farming at home with the Chamberlains. We talk about how many chickens we ended up with, by breed, about the new run that we built with extra lumber “Ft. Bocks”, and about Bird Flu 2022 that’s eating our brood alive. Our Chickens (by the numbers) * Poultry farming at home is more fun with variety * We purchased nearly 30 chickens to make our start this time around * Brahmas, Rhode Island Reds, Silver and Gold Laced Wyandottes, and a mess of Speckled Banty hens and a rooster The New Run * We found out the hard way last year, that without a proper run we would lose everything to predators * This year we built the Fort Knox of chicken runs. * We named it Ft. Bocks… * We used some left over lumber that had been lying around for several years and made something to hopefully keep our chickens safe for years to come Bird Flu 2022 * We started losing birds about a week after we finished our brood purchasing * The symptoms have been setting in pretty quickly * Imagine the influenza that you experience… but in a chicken. * The small birds are dead within 48 hours (normally) * The full grown brahmas have been living for 3 weeks with the flu
