When it comes to responding to comments, I take it quite seriously. As long as its not a bot I tend to respond to all of them. Though my response times are not the best, I still do my best to get back

Watching birds dive into the water is always so interesting to witness. I am not sure what they are going after, maybe water? Maybe a small fish? Well whatever they are doing, they really like skimming

I think sometimes trying to over care for plants can hurt them, last year we went to battle against the ants. Watered them nearly every day, and had all kinds of problems. Well this year we pretty much

I have been seeing a mother deer and its offspring roaming around in the last few weeks. It was taking a drink of the edge of the water when I got out my camera and finally got a few pictures. It has been

When my cannabis seeds sprout you never know how they will turn out. Usually my plants grow to a few feet tall. Well it seems this plant just wanted to stay small, and only grew a little over a foot tall.

With all the excess power I plan on producing with my upcoming changes to my solar array, I needed something to make use of all that solar power. Running two of these will use close to 7000w. So depending

I have now been growing these seedlings for nearly a year, almost 20 of them have germinated and really looking forward to them getting big enough to move them into bigger pots. Once they are ready I plan

Another project that has been months in the making is now being wrapped up, the third major solar array is being brought online on the farm and we can now power things inside the building. Along with power

The plants I put in the ground a month or two back are starting to shoot off runners in every direction. When I put them in the ground I placed them by some paracord that is ran from three posts. Using

It has been over a week now with our new visitor, a feral male peacock. When it showed up it was calling out every few minutes looking for a mate. It also had a large collection of tail feathers. Well

During the spring and summer, the gnats come out in force and are relentless. They hang right around my face, and over time eventually find a way to get into my eyes. Usually ends up with me going to find

With a recent rain storm passing by I went outside to capture some pictures of the plants that we collect leaves from for cooking. The purple basil plants are very happy this time of year. Producing lots

For a long time now I have been using hive.vote... I decided to disable it. I think I am going to try out doing manual voting for awhile and see how I like it. If its something that is too much for me

In the last few days we have harvested the garlic that was in the ground and it is now drying. Its hard to say which is which, but I am pretty sure the larger ones are music garlic and the others are from

Previously we looked at all my annual plants growing in the garden, meaning they only live once during the grow season and then die back. But in this post we will look at the perennial plants, meaning

I was curious what the state of curation groups was so I took a look at their stats and put them all together in one post. With nine of them to go over looks like there is a strong group of Hive users

In the last few days, Array-C has been brought online and is now producing power for the farm. It does not have any loads on it just yet, but it is up and running and fully charged its battery in half

While my farm foreman and I were working on one of my solar array projects he spotted a peacock while I was installing some grounding wire. He just said "peacock" out of no where. When he said
