Hedera's Homestead

Growing lots of things this year :)

The biggest cabbage I ever grew and probably will ever grow. Only traded my first born child for the opportunity

What the cabbages look like now :) they won't be here when I do the mid season video.

Onions are doing very well :) and garlic has been harvested! Corn planted where the garlic used to be, and all squash now planted (late planting to avoid vine borers). Everything looks awesome. I'm looking forward to posting a mid season garden video when everything is in full force.

Optimistic for onions this year. I've dealt with my seedlings damping off in years past, but tried out a new starter soil this year (Happy Frog potting soil). Despite being a full blown potting soil, it's actually pretty fine. You can see how well the seeds took to it by how vigorous their roots are. All this time getting disappointed, and it was the soil that was sus. I like to start onion seeds in the first week of January and transplant anywhere in March for zone 7. They need a ton of time to grow before planting.

Handy reference. We pruned our trees (we have both types described in this image) in the fall; they're only 3-4 years old and it's our first time 😅 but it looks like we had a lot of time to do so. You do too! Anywhere from winter to spring is A-OK.

Happy new year frens :) If you are in zone 7, you officially have about one more day left to start your onion seeds. Cabbage and broccoli follow closely.

Each rooster ended up being about 4.5 lbs after being cleaned. We butchered them at 5 months old, they are tender enough to roast. The breed is Delaware, which briefly dominated the poultry meat industry in 1950s America before the Cornish Cross was invented. In the early 2000s, this breed was considered critically endangered, but its population is recovering due to their all-around excellent chickenness. Besides being a large, genuine meat bird, they are also supposedly prolific layers. The hens from this batch are not laying yet, but they have quickly found a place in the main flock. They have domineering, fearless personalities, and they are tireless foragers. Their disposition is unique among the chicken breeds. I like them a lot.
