Life at Rock Farm

We call this place "Upon a Rock Farm". Partly due to one of my favorite Bible verses

"For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock." Psalm 27:5

Partly due to the fact that we DO live on a rock pile. I learned this when I tried to dig a hole for a peach tree, soon after we moved here. I got about three inches deep and realized that what was needed was dynamite. Of which I had none. The peach tree ended up being planted essentially above ground, with soil piled up around it. It actually did OK, until someone backed over it. Fortunately, the former owners, (lovely people) were dedicated gardeners, and amended the soil on a different part of the property. This makes it possible to plant vegetables without explosives or a heavy equipment operator.
On the agenda for today, potato planting. Peas, spinach, lettuce, beets, a few squash, watermelon, and cucumbers are already in. Also on the agenda: making friends with skittish new Oberhasli goat that arrived last night. Her name is Giselle. Pics to follow.
Welcome to Rock Farm.
