A Farmers work is never done?

The Rescued Yucca Before and After with the Cholla and other cactus. Not yet ready to call this a success, but we are on our way.

What do January and Furniture moving have in common? Well, normally, it might be cleaning, but for this year, we've finally created a shelf area that can be put up and taken down each January. We have some mixed greens growing (after some hefty leaf cutting for dinners) and are ready to start some seedlings.

We got these metal shelf holders for about 3 dollars at the Economy Shop in Oak Park just before we moved to NM (I think we were probably supposed to be donating things at the time). http://www.economyshop.org/ The pieces held promise and, by the time we pulled them out of the greenhouse, a lot of dust. These will help us in our new year of gardening.

New recipe in our files, Pecan Pie Syrup. Phil made some fabulous French Toast and we kicked off the new year with some of this syrup, made with Organic Grade A Maple Syrup with pecan pie ingredients. Yum. A good way to return to the pecan hulling process. We are almost done with what we hope to harvest. Another huge bag ready to go to the sheller this week.

New Years Resolution-try to live as sustainably as possible for the year.

Here's to good health!
