One of the projects I have been working on since early this year is getting water resources onsite where the garlic field is. In the last month or so we got the well drilled. And now I wrapped up the plumbing

With solar array C online and producing excess power, I figured it would be good to put all that extra energy to use during peak periods of sunny days. My solar panels can produce up to around 7000 watts

With only one female cannabis plant growing outdoors I focused on making sure it got everything it needed. This year I was careful not to over water it. And luckily we did not get any tropical storms coming

Another month comes to a close and I have some fresh solar stats to share. Soon we will start to see a drop again in the solar production, unless we have another amazing October like last year. We shall

The state of Virginia which I reside in allows me to grow up to four cannabis plants at a time. Selling what I grow is illegal, but I can give away to adults as much as I want without expected form of

Our garlic cloves have arrived at the farm and it is time to plant them. We decided to plant about a month early as suggested by the farm we purchased the garlic from. They also cracked the garlic, and

Its nice to find a place to sit down for a few minutes and just enjoy the surroundings. With Autumn right around the corner its time to enjoy some of the local plants before they go dormant for the year.

We add fertilizer to the fields shortly before planting, enough time for the granules to break down into the soil and be available for the garlic when they need it next year. A follow up soil test will

As fall is approaching my basket of cacti are having their fruit become quite ripe. Soon it will be time to pick them and remove the spines and eat some. There are seeds inside but the flavor of the fruit

After a month of continuous use of my electric farm vehicles its time to charge them. My UTV was down to 19% charge and had "LOW" displaying on the screen. The electric bike still had quite a

My Lilac Diesel plant is starting to get real frosty. It has a few months left to grow before the cold weather shows up and it will be time to chop it and start drying the buds.. And then move onto curing

It has been one year since I started tracking my solar stats from my solar panel arrays on my property. I was encouraged to post about each months production and was always interesting to see how they

I have many work benches out in the workshop, but inside my home I wanted an area I can work in. Something close by where I can do smaller and less dirty tasks. I found some Workpro benches that would

An important part of starting our garlic farm is having proper irrigation. And when it does not rain I will need to pump water from the ground to meet our needs. Garlic needs an inch of water a week, sometimes

August is the month where we complete one year of metrics tracking for my solar projects. Soon I will put together some charts showing the overall year comparing month to month statistics. Once I upgrade

We do not have air conditioners out in the farm buildings, but we do run dehumidifiers. With these machines running 24/7 during the summer time they collect a lot of water. Their built in reservoirs are

I have been experimenting with short form content recently posting on Hive. Some of the posts are just a couple images with next to no text in them or very little. And I do not really feel good about getting

When I walked out to my workshop yesterday I was greeted by the peacock. Kinda surprised me as I was not expecting it to be right next to me, but it just stood there looking back at me.. so yeah the peacock

I recently had the opportunity to spot a family of turkey up close. Usually they keep a safe distance from me, but I was able to sneak up on them and get some pictures before they scurried away. In these

It seems this plant knows the changing of the seasons is soon approaching. I see buds forming on the tops of the colas and should not be long before they start to stretch. Right now the plant is maybe
