Sharon's Natural Gardens

 Hi  Garden/farm  lovers ,

 It has been a year since I posted and this is new to me. This is the wettest year in the history of my gardening in this area . The land here used to be underwater every spring . It was ditched in the late 70's . This season was  so wet that flats of transplants did not even get planted and weeds took over because it was too wet to work or till. We sold most of the animals to some young homesteaders looking for stock and only kept the horses and a few chickens .

 We tried our hand at a couple of farmers markets and got to attend a fun biodynamic conference in Tenn. in October at the Long Hungry Creek farm. . The food, fun and music was so uplifting. It was especially good to see others in the same trenches as we are and meet young and old in the pursuit of connecting with the land in a special way.

 We also got to go all the way up to the Canadian border to upstate NY to the farm where my husband was raised and down through Vermont around Halloween .

  We are preparing the homestead and ourselves for a possible trip across country next summer to visit and help out on farms and write a book together called "Memories of a Delaware Farmgirl" .It will be about the history of our lives along with the day to day travels and observations of the farms we visit. Any farm  interested in our visiting them , please write. :)Sharon
