Last year went out with a bang, or perhaps more of a whimper. Spent the last two weeks of 2022 being sick.
I finally broke down and went to the doctor, still having issues breathing but feeling better.
I’m starting out the new year with the dehydrator filled to capacity. I found bananas at .39 cents a lb so bought 10 lbs. I also am experimenting with some different vegetables that I haven’t tried before. I figure longer term storage is my goal, along with keeping a full pantry.
There are a lot of things in the works for 2023 and if I’m going to get half of them done, I’ll need to hit the ground running.
I will have my live plant dealers license in time for Spring and plan on having at least 1 to 2K worth of plants to offer as well as most if not all of our own plants for the year.
An industrial size dehydrator is also being built as well as the finishing touches being put on the green house.
Plants will be started a little earlier this season. Last season it got to hot too soon and the tomatoes that I had started from seed failed to fruit. My starter pots will also be bigger, I’m using the red Solo cups so roots will have plenty of space to grow.
A fourth compost pile has been started or rather, restarted. When I’d left the other property a little over two years ago the pile was close to four foot high, when I restarted it, it was closer to two foot high. The one pile is for things that will take longer to break down or that would be too hot to use right away. I’m also going to try Vermicomposting again, it was a failure last time and I’m not 100% sure why.
It’s my hope that I will have plenty of compost to run the greenhouse with. Not sure it will be a money maker for us but being able to grow more of our own food is priceless.
Thank you for stopping by and may you have a fantastic new year!
