Taking Care of the Farm

Clark has been working hard.

Holchin Homestead Late Spring Planting

We skipped the early season, but planted for summer crops. This year is a big expansion, 500% more acreage (0.00055 acres or 24 square feet) and 100% growth in staff (Mitzi and Clark). We have a variety of tomatoes to eat and try canning, bell peppers and cucumbers to try pickling. Last fall’s late compost additions didn’t get hot enough, so we have some squash “volunteers” popping up. We are keeping some to see exactly what they are.

The raspberry plants are all growing and we should have a few blackberries soon.

The jumparoo is a favorite hang out

The keyboard cat is a lot of fun

and so is that kid in the mirror

We have a zombie baby. He doesn’t want brains, but wants hands!

Starting solid foods!

No, I will not stay on the lap.

We went to the memorial day parade.

blueberries are the best

Clark can sit if placed and distracted from everything he wants to investigate

but has not learned how to correct once the leaning starts

Green beans are tolerated.

Only a little late…

On the first nice day of spring, we went out for a walk.

On Good Friday we played mini golf and got ice cream.
