discussion Lee Drennen’s Hobby Farm & Garden

[Guest]

For some reason, we can't grow tomatoes past the flowering stage. The plants are strong and flower really well and then seem to stall. Small fruit that never rippen.

I didn't bother this year.

Where are you attempting to grow, out side or under glass ?

 

[Watto]

I've got a small greenhouse and have tried them in that but I've tried growbags in a sheltered but sunny spot with the same results

I've tried different varieties too.

This week I’ve had the Sheep for 1 year now and their doing well survived the winter very good. Hope to get them out on their first Paddock next week. Enjoy the pics.

Thanks Jim I know you always liked what’s going on at the farm. Yes Spring is almost here but I kinda hate to see winter go as I enjoy the snow more these days because I don’t have to work in the winter.

It does look rather cold in those pictures Lee, the sheep look well though.

Yes it was cold here we had a couple weeks this winter where the temperatures were in the high the teens and lows in the negatives. The Sheep didn’t mind they had a good coat on and I made a deep litter of Straw for them to lay down on in the barn. Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you Richard I appreciate it. I’m so blessed with this small Farm I’ve down sized it quite a bit from years past. Maybe someday you’ll get that wish but if you have a window you still can put out a little garden in your flat with a few plants. Hope to get some more updates on the farm soon. Lots of work to do since spring is on our heels here.

This weekend was very busy. Saturday hauled Manure up to the field and spreaded by hand and got a few other things done. The sheep got out and had fun roaming around eating the green grass.

All looking very good. The snow pictures look wonderful.

Sunday we had a new arrival on the Hobby Farm. Dolly had her lamb and both are doing well.

The Allis Chalmers would make a great model - what vintage is it Lee?

My wife said Cuteness overload.Love sheep,I had a knitted one when i was about 6 and didnt like to be at school without it.

A lamb - wonderful. Certainly very cute. Lambs are starting to make an appearance in the fields around us too.
