Start 2008 Review

2008 Beginning-not much to our garage!

P and S Farm is a Pecan/Fruit Tree haven for wildlife. We are growing pecans and have recently harvested and shelled 100+ pounds of pecans. This year we've also harvested apples, cherries and pears, various herbs and some vegetables and have been able to utilize or trade most of our produce. We've also found we will be ending the 2008 year with 11 chickens and a duck who just thinks he is a chicken (chuck).

Wildlife have visited pretty regularly this year. We've seen coyote and deer, pack rats, squirrels, 1000s of birds and minnows in our creek. We've seen a colt born in July, named Comanche, son of Cash.

As we end 2008, we have made good progress on creating a farm that will become sustainable. In January 2009 we will have our 5.4 kwh solar array connected and will be taking the next step towards sustainability.

There are some new things on the horizon and we are looking forward to the change of year and blogging our progress in moving towards a more sustainable life with less of an impact on the environment.

The final solar panels go on as we get ready to ring in the new year.
