Instagram post 2141668671897118314_484954504 Woohoo! #productivenaptime today, paid bills, prepared with trip to town office to register vehicles complete with urine sample and ready to hand over my first born child, #peeledtomatoes, made a knotweed #tincture and a peach #elixir. The peach tree keeps on giving! Good for handling hot weather better and bee stings, two of my outdoor foes.

Instagram post 2104534599873908190_484954504 I had no idea how lovely #Beebalm smelled until I went out to cut some today from our huge patch of it. I wish I could leave the pretty flowers to dry without covering them, but this repurposed #grandyoats bag isnt too bad and will do a great job of catching the precious petals as they dry. This plant will help us through the cold and flu season. #beettheratrace #plantmedicine #stockingupforwinter
Instagram post 2098346823478609275_484954504 Taming the impenetrable berry block! The first step is to stake out the rows, then we are going to mow a path between them, after harvest we will thin the rows down to 2 feet wide. It’s hard work, but these kids work for berries. It’s a good thing that we will have millions of these very soon. #beettheratrace #berrypatch #eatwhatyougrow #kidsgardening
Instagram post 2096177709989477990_484954504 This evening’s task of thinning the fuzzy peaches off of the peach tree and feeding them to the chickens. #littlehelpers #growwhatyoueat we just learned that we needed to thin them! Just ordered a mower deck for the quad bike that will tame our field, then we can assess the apple trees and learn how to care for those too. #beettheratrace follow our journey at beettheratrace.com
