READY FOR THE ROUND UP?
Well, I’m a few days late but better late than never, right? There’s a lot happening so ya’ll pay attention, read all this stuff VERY carefully ya hear- thanks!
SELF SUFFICIENCY IN THE HEART OF THE CITY
Meet a family who achieved what most people would think impossible in a big city. On less than 4,000 square feet of land in the heart of Pasadena, California, the Dervaes family gets all the food they need from their own backyard
ARMS FULL
There’s a lot on our plates right now (carry a lot of new projects!) and we are just plowing thru a heavy workload at the moment which leaves me little time or energy to bring you updates from the urban homestead.
GROWTH SPURT
Here’s some really cute photos that Justin took of the now 2+ week old duckies – they certainly are growing fast! Just to point out as it seems some folks are confused — this is our THIRD time raising ducklings (started our first flock 8 years ago)
A WEEK IN REVIEW
Wow, it’s that time already for another Weekly Round Up? This week we are focusing on our growing outreach as we put out a call for a few know-how and passionate writers to become part of the our social network team. Would that be you?
HOMESTEAD HAPPENINGS
On the homefront there’s a lot happening. Yeah, well guess it wouldn’t be normal if I didn’t say that everyone is busy. Sometimes I feel like a broken record, but tis a farm life. Fellow homesteaders would understand of even exhibit some of the symptoms! LOL
SUMMER TIME!
Can’t believe we are weeks away from saying “adios” to summer. And just when we thought Ms Summer wouldn’t show, she finally turned up after a pretty cool start.
THE FOUR PEEPERS AND HOW THEY GREW
The little peepers are sure growing fast! They graduated from the kiddie pool to the big one last week and are eating greens.
ROUND UP
With all that’s going on, figure it’s high time I sit and collect all the newbytes and articles that ya’ll may have missed this week. On Fridays I am going to try to make it a weekly habit to post some highlights. Git along little dawgies!
HOMEGROWN TOMATOES
Nothing says summer like homegrown tomatoes – eat ‘em raw with a bit of salt. Bliss! Tomatoes have a right to have an entire post of their own don’t you think?
