I left the farm for 24 hours and came back to 50 degree weather, pumpkin post decor, and a goat fainting for no reason. The donkeys are suspicious of their new pasture, but fall is officially here!

Getting ready for planting season. Also, a special gift is being prepared for a retiring grandpa. The gifts are going to be amazing. #laurafarms #inktober #gardening #homesteading #family #gifts

🌱🇳🇿 Yarrow's genus name, Achillea, comes from Achilles, who was said to have used it to treat his soldiers' wounds at Troy. Thousands of years later it's still one of the plants most associated with first-aid gardening → independentbackyard.com/my-book/#aff...

Mud season is here and plans had to change. Here is why we had to skip our goat show this year and what it means for our herd.

Tickling our tomato babies. How soft! What a joy!

It's good to strengthen them up too.

Other care:
- Admiration and love
- everyday quality time
- blow softly on them breathing them up.
- watering

They gonna give us so much food soon too. #lovenature #grateful #gardening #homesteading

🌱🇳🇿 Bees are all over my echinacea right now. Worth growing for that alone. Just one piece of a bigger project I picked up from a book on self-sufficient backyards → independentbackyard.com/my-book/#aff...

Who else grows flowers just for the pollinators? 🐝
