I just finished up planting the green house. I am about week behind schedule due to cleaning up from a burst pipe in my basement, but it's looking pretty good. I put down new typar and increased the spacing between tomato plants to 24". I burned the holes with a plumbers torch and a plywood template, much neater result than cutting x's. 18" spacing was a bit tight, I bet the yield will remain the same even with less plants. I grow mostly moskvich and sweetie with a few tanana early, alaska fancy and sub arctic plenty. I put in one less row of tomatoes to make room for extra cukes in wicking beds. They are mostly mini munchers. My kids like those so much that they don't even make it into the house. My wife decided to plant some sweet corn. That hasn't done well here in the past, but maybe we'll get lucky this time. Next task is to plant potatoes, cabbage and broccoli outside. #gardening #homesteading #Alaska image

My wife hatched a dozen chicks in the incubator and snuck 4 in with our broody hen. She has really taken to it. They were all roaming around the chicken yard digging for bugs today. It was really cute to watch. We should have done this years ago instead of keeping them separated and goofing around with heat lamps. image

I recently bought a worm drive skilsaw at my local lumberyard, for my chicken coop project. It's sweet, rips 2X on an angle like a boss. Now they think I am a contractor and I get a discount on lumber. Winning!
