Just Things

Well the new year is here and some things are happening on the farm.

First theres a new hot spot so I can get faster internet access. Woohoo! I have a virgin mobile hot spot and it seems to be working good. It's not blazing but it's better then dialup by 25 times or so. I can do upgrades and all.

The bees have had a hard winter. 1 hive is gone, I was worried about it all thru the fall, as it was struggling and then last week I checked it and no bees. This happens but it's annoying. The other hives are doing well so maybe there will be a nice bucket of honey this spring.

I've also decided to reconfigure the farm. The dirt farming with organic principles is not working. So, i will convert the fields to grapes vines and some fruit trees, and add a green house when I can. I will put in some raised beds to contain the soil and so bypass the loss of nutrients the I struggle with now in the sand.

All big stuff but I need to adapt to the realities of farming in the sand.
