In the interest of trying to not exacerbate the pain yesterday I kept the workload minimal. I didn't want to destroy the chiro work done but still had to get something done during the day. I've been meaning to move the tires from the piles to stacks and finally got it done. They are all covered to keep the rain away from the wall and it cleans up a nice sided area. I will likely use them somewhere around the farm, I'd grown potatoes a couple years in stacks but no need now that I am growing them in rows. #homesteading #farmstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Mornin #Nostr It was tree felling day yesterday. After the #freezedryer finished I was out hacking on the stump for a while before I headed up the hill to take down 4 trees. I got 2 limbed, 1 bucked, and the buced rounds trundeled down the hill. I have to go limb and buck the rest today. The fireplace is ready enough to get going so I will probably give it a run in the next day or two. #homesteading #farmstr #firewood #Hive #peakd #dailyblog

It was nice getting the rain yesterday as we have needed it. After a rough night I managed to get a few things done during the day. The fireplace has needed attention for a while and holy balls was there a lot of ash where it wasn't supposed to be. Lots more work to don on it still. The last potatoes came out of the ground and I only managed about 4 pounds in the couple really short rows. EHomesteading #farmstr #spudstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Soggy morn #Nostr We did it! 800 cloves of #garlic are in the ground and covered for the winter. The boys planted and covered after I made the holes. The mass of pine needles I gathered proved to be just the right amount and will do quite nicely to protect them all over winter. Still 3 more varieties waiting to arrive that will get planted. Quite proud of the boys for their help and really happy to have them all in. Perfect timing as it dumped rain overnight and is still going. #homesteading #farmstr #gardening #garlicstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Hallo #Nostr We went to the ski swap in Colville yesterday morning and got everyone skis and the boys boots, poles, and helmets as well. After lunch we stopped at the ranch for steaks and roasts. I spent my afternoon pulling apart all the heads of #garlic to get a count and prep them for planting today. 794 cloves from the 10 varieties and I still have 3 more vafieties shipping soon. My hope is to have 1000 cloves in the ground but may fall a bit short. #homesteading #farmstr #foodstr #skistr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The S19 is ordered! I have to do some electrical work to get the 220v to the greenhouse but I have the wire for it. I just might be able to heat the whole greenhouse this winter.

The first deep freeze of the season hit and the leaves on the trees spent the day raining down with each little breeze. The #garlic garden is nearing ready to plant and I will have at least 10 varieties planted by the end of the day tomorrow. I'm going to get an S19 for the greenhouse heat this winter. The S9 did well last winter but the heat from the S19 will be a lot more. I will be putting my pots on a table and the S19 will sit beneath it so the heat keeps the table and pots warm all winter long. #homesteading #farmstr #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

The gardens got torn down yesterday and glad I did as it is 25F this morning. I have finally dialed into the timing as prior years I didn't get winterization done in time. The ground has to be exposed for Spring thaw to happen correctly, I've learned the hard way. 50 pounds of celery is in the cooler and I found them to be on the smaller side since I didn't thin the seedlings. Lesson learned and next year I will make sure to have just one plant per spot. #homesteading #farmstr #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

We got a nice bit of much needed rain which stopped by morning yesterday. As I pulled tomato plants and weeds in the greenhouse one of the pepper plants came loose so I potted it up and it is looking great this morning in the house. 133 pounds of potatoes dug from 4 rows over the day. It makes 215 pounds of the late spuds and I have a couple short rows still to dig. I'm only at 902 pounds for the year and not likely to hit my 1000 lb goal, but lessons learned so next year will be better. #homesteading #farmstr #foodstr #spudstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Crunch time has arrived. The rain hit last night so yesterday I had a ton to get done. The lumber logs are all stacked and covered, rounds under the wood cover, shed roof covered, tools put away, lots of misc things found their homes, then I dug 82 pounds of potatoes from 2.3 rows. I still have 6 rows to dig which should put me over 1000 lbs of spuds this year. #homesteading #farmstr #gardening #winteriscoming #hive #peakd #dailyblog

OMG #Nostr I am SO SORE after the lumber and firewood cutting trip yesterday. It took 2 hrs drive each way, an hour and a half of cutting, and an hour and a half loading but I have a full load of 12+ foot logs for lumber and a full tree in rounds to cure for firewood. Hardest drive I can remember in years as the trailer was way too tail heavy so I was fighting it fishtailing the whole drive home. 55mph max was all it could handle and I know there was some pissed off people who had to go around me on the highway. #homesteading #logging #firewood #whiteknuckledrive #farmstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog #diystr

The sun is nearly risen #Nostr I think I have enough pine needles to cover the garlic garden this year. After raking the old road and some of the hillside I had almost too much for the truck and trailer. Last year I just filled the truck bed but with 4 times as much garlic I'll be growing htis year I need the extra. Rain is inbound so I wanted it all gathered prior, save my back some abuse without the water weight to lift. Was going to go get lumber wood tomorrow but it will be raining in the mountains so I am going today. #homesteading #farmstr #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Been trying to figure out if it is possible to run an old school BBS setup over meshnets... They were all text based and used minimal memory but were super fun at the time. #LORA #mesh #Meshtastic

Found a wasp nest at eye level yesterday morning but it is long empty, so I have it in the house to save. I got a bit more done on the stump as I had to cut another vertical cross cut to reduce the size of the chunks I have to cut out. Got a bit of shooting time and threw some lead at the hillside for the first time in a while. In the evening my new wireless tracker #LORA arrived and I got it quickly setup on #Meshtastic. I have plans on setting a number of the LORA devices up in my local region. #Homesteading #farming #diystr #hive #peakd #dailyblog #plebchain
