Windy Day But That’s Okay

4/30/2019

0 Comments

 
So the wind has picked up as it always does this time of year but it’s okay when working in the greenhouse the wind is shielded and I was able to get lots of transplants taken care of.

In the picture below is one of my tips- when filling six packs set it on a bucket (which I use to mix the soil in) then add soil to each spot. It’s better for me so I don’t have bend over to fill each container.
​
Here’s a bonus tip- save cottage cheese or yogurt containers to start seeds in. You are reusing something that normally gets thrown away and also saves you money.

Letting Our Chickens & Ducks Out To Free Range

4/18/2019

Depending on my work schedule also depends on how long the chickens & ducks get to roam the yard. They aren’t let out unless someone is around to keep an eye on them because of the predators in our area. We had coyotes and wondering dogs come in the yard at different times of the day or night.

They are so much happier and lay great eggs when they can roam free not to mention they keep the bugs and goat head plants at bay.

Meet Bonnie one of our ducks- she used to be more black and molted now she has a lot more white on her. She’s not only beautiful but she’s also a good layer.
Also in the pictured is Laurel and Chewy

Surprise In The Garden

4/13/2019

Wow! You never know what your going to see in the garden. I was out watering this morning and saw something strange in one of our raised beds. I used a stick to uncover what was the biggest mushroom I’ve ever seen in my life. Our chickens had been eating some of it or at least what they could reach. I had to take a picture and share. Mushrooms are not something we normally see growing here in Northern Arizona.

Everything Is So Green

We love this time of year when there is a lot of green in the yard. Sadly it won’t last very long with the temperature heats up but for now we are enjoying it. The wild flowers are so pretty both yellow and purple have popped up. Each year they are different depending on how much moisture we get. Happy Spring Everyone!

We’ve Added To Our Name

4/3/2019

Part of our transition from the online thrift store to our micro farm is adding to our name-it’s now Truly Thrifty/ Leverone Family Farm. We have been raising chickens and ducks for 6 years and recently added more growing area for produce. Eventually we would like to open a farm stand but for now we will be selling at AZ RT 66 Farmers Market in Ash Fork and Seligman AZ this summer. This is a family effort and I’m so blessed to have my families support.

Have a great day everyone!

Another Day Working In the Greenhouse

4/1/2019

The weather has been beautiful and makes is easier to be outside and productive. I split up a big planter of Irises and it always amazes me how many new plants we get, it’s been several years since it was done last.
Irises are one of those flowers that just keeps on giving, it multiplies easily. They have beautiful flowers but the only downside is the flowers don’t last very long.
Digging in the dirt hasn’t been good for my nails but I don’t mind getting dirty and I rarely paint my nails because of such occasions.
Happy Spring Everyone!
