Farm update
Our dedicated homesteaders here at back2thebeginning have been actively working on constructing the new shade house.
We've converted salvageable' s from what was left of an old stable from years ago. Rather than completely demolishing the remains, we re-purposed them, using old fencing & other materials around our butterfly gardens.
Our efforts seem to be paying off, most apparently by the abundance of happy swooping visitors & new life in the gardens. Our Milkweed plants seem to be hosting an array critters in various stages of life & the fresh viable seeds encourage continued harmony for years to come.
We used the remains of the standing structure as support for our always popular prolific crop of loofah cleansing pads, so prized by our friends, family & customers alike. Looks like this years crop is gonna inspire "happy hour" in the bath & showers. Scrub a dub dub.
The concrete pad left in tact, now provides a sturdy platform for our soon to be rows of medicinal, & culinary herbs seedlings, The re-potting of fruit saplings has already begun, & thoughtful preparations for our permaculture plantings & irrigation are underway.
We 'll keep you posted.
Ya'll come back now, Back2thebeginning
