The garden is producing and the beets look quite nice. I've found I've lost some of the garlic I had planted so likely won't reach my 1000 goal, but they are still doing pretty good this year. Next year I will be taking over the main garden rows for the garlic which will take some figuring out for winter. #homesteading #farming #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Went north yesterday to climb/boulder and then go sailing on the Columbia River with my oldest friend. The boys had a blast and we had a great afternoon on the water. The clouds seemed to have kept most people off the river so we largely had it to ourselves. We got a killer fireworks display all the way home as they were going off big time. Mortars were flying all over the place! #climbing #sailing #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The garlic harvest continues! 383 dug over the day yesterday which brings me to almost half of the 1000 I planted last year. Lessons are being learned and plans for this next planting are already forming in my head. Likely the farm will continue to be turned to potatoes and garlic with the gvarlic taking over the main garden this next year. #homesteading #farming #gardening #garlic #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Aussies better stand up for your selves and remove the zealots in charge. Nearly as bad as the UK. https://techxplore.com/news/2025-07-australians-age-online-tools.html
The greenhouse is now dealt with and the tomatoes are trimmed and tied. In the late afternoon yesterday I found that I have #Garlic that is ready. 2 rows were dug which gave me 110 bulbs, the same number I planted last fall. Siberian and Silver White varieties and I got some much nicer sized bulbs this year with better more consistent watering. More rows to dig today and I hope I get the 1000+ I planted when all done. #homesteading #farming #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog
I managed to get to the greenhouse before it got blazing hot yesterday and caged the peppers before trimming and tying the cucumber plants. The tomatoes will be done today. I cut back the brush and various things along the creek which really opened it up nicely. Found a new stand of elderberry grwoing from the creek so I cleared around it to allow it more room to get as huge as it can. New phones arrived finally and one massive step up in quality from our old. #homesteading #farming #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Wow, JUST WOW!!!
Our couple days of hot are here before it cools off a bit for the holiday weekend. Got more mowing done as it was getting hot yesterday then spent the heat of the day inside working on the room cleaning. It's taken a hell of a effort but we now have his floor cleaned and can move on the the shelves. THEN we go to the other room and do the same thing... #homesteading #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog
After our time at Ninja Nation on their last day open before closing for good we spent most of the day trying to clean the absolute pig sty of a room of our youngest. Thankfully I have laminate flooring everywhere in the house so it is far easier to clean than carpets. The hard part is the tediousness of all the little shit strewn about... #homesteading #ninjawarrior #hive #peakd #dailyblog
