Homestead Notes
Updates from our homestead.
Happy 250th!
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend. We had a very nice time. Had a family cookout, shot a few fireworks, picked some blackberries, and enjoyed our long weekend. Thankful we live in this country. Thankful for all the sacrifices made for the last 250 years, so that we could live free and happy. God Bless America!
Harvesting
Been harvesting a lot here at Bedrock Haven. Dug potatoes and garlic, been picking blackberries, and brought in some peaches. Just started picking green beans last night.
Sadly, around half of the red potatoes rotted in the ground. There has been a lot of rain this spring. However, the others did very well. The garlic did well also.
Thankful for harvest!
Blackberries
Wild blackberry season is kicking off strong here. We are blessed with a lot of healthy wild blackberry bushes. We make various things with them from blackberry lemonade to blackberry deserts. We try to freeze a lot of them as well, so we can use them later. They also make great kombucha flavoring!
