Come On Spring!!!

I've had the pleasure of spending the last 3 days doing all kinds of stuff at the farm I use in Fuquay. Here's the rundown on the farm...it is an old tobacco farm that has a few pastures with Wilbur, the 50 year old donkey, 2 sheep, 2 dogs, and a ton of goats that can all scream my name. They say Beeeeeeeennnn!!!!! every time I show up. Most of the rest of the farm is wooded with pine, tulip poplar, oak, maple, pecan, black walnut and few persimmon trees here. There is an old pasture of @ 10-12 acres that was overgrown with weeds until last fall when I disked it. Acorns become trees, same with pine cones and whatever else falls out of a tree. I've gone through the field with a chainsaw, loppers, and a weedwacker and almost have it completely scalped. No, there is no bush hog. I've also dumped a ton of fertilizer out there. By hand. A ton. So at this point I've probably ventured 250 miles or so back-and-forth across this field and have loved every minute of it. I've got 4 varieties of clover that I have spread with a little spreader bag thing and the next step is gonna be to add some blueberry bushes, peach, apple, and cherry trees. I'm planning to surround the whole deal with lavender and rosemary since they are natural deer deterrents.


I put bees out there in 2003 and have kept them with varying degrees of luck since then. I spread my bees between my house, the farm, and a few other locations.
