Comment on November is for visiting and preserving… by Donna

The place is TOO wonderful. Many goats and lovely kitties! And the yurt - oh, the yurt! And lovely people coming and going. Mushrooms: I’m one of those BOLD mushroom hunters, so do be careful about picking or cooking or tasting! I’m sure the ones in the front yard aren’t lethal — but make doubly sure before playing around with, to preclude tummy aches. These things work for me because I’m crazy and I have a stomach like a leaf grinder, and my whole body is toxic anyway. Don’t do as the mutants do!

Hey great shot of Walnut — and that must be my fertility chant I’m throwing on him there….

They have photos now — which they can post if they tell me which ones to load! I still have many pretty pictures on my PC.

Check with the original owners. If they ever had foulbrood, burn them. If they didn’t have foulbrood, clean ‘em up. Then google “bee hive construction,” to check out parts and instructions. Try setting out hives in dry, windless, high area of the farm. See if the local Caucasian feral bees will inhabit them (they may be more resistant to mites — we’re checking this out up here). If you don’t have bees by this summer, I know where to get Caucasian queens — but the guy has orders up to HERE and you have to put in an order early.

Re veggies: I’m much better at picking wild ones. Nettles about over — but the bracken fern fiddle-heads are coming up! Yum!

Donna, what a good idea! There will be even more to interest the kids (old and young) when we start into the archery and black powder stuff…

Oh yes indeed I did that with goats on the property in Algona — Penny (a Togg) ate a patch six foot by fifty feet and seven foot high DOWN TO THE GROUND in a mere three months.

When I was a kid, mom tethered a goat and a sheep in the blackberries. Between the two of them, they ate or dragged down or stomped down every plant. By throwing grain and veggie leavings onto the dirt, we enlisted the chickens to help digging up the soil an roots. Hm. I’ll pet pigs could defeat those plants!
