Wish I could make it over there. There’s definitely a few things I’d like to get off you in that list. I’m sure you’re hard at propagation right now too. My wife and I busted out a bunch of up potting and propagation yesterday. hopefully I’ll get a bunch more done today. However I’ve gotta help my bee keeper buddies a few hours today getting supers on the bees in preparation for tupelo honey season. It’s crunch time for me right now making stock for the major selling season but it’s also the time they need my help the most. It’s a fight getting my stuff done before the tupelo honey festival in May and helping them through their major honey season. Large scale bee keepers with several hundred hives but it’s only a family endeavor for the most part with the father and son only with my help on the side. Its a lot of work maintaining 500 plus hives sometimes up into 800 or so hives. Learned a ton from them about bees over time though I don’t agree with all their practices in terms of chemical pest control and antibiotic use. Not my problem or place to make those decisions for them though. I just help them out and do as they want done. Best of blessings with your sales today!
Yes – everything happens at once in the spring. I’ve spent many hours in the nursery the last few weeks. Making sure the garden gets put in has been lower on the list, but has to happen this next week. Are you closer to Dothan? I will be there at the Keepers of the Old Ways in three weeks.
I’m pretty much due south of Dothan I think. About a 30 min drive south of the pioneer settlement where the keepers of the old ways was a year or two ago in blountstown. I was going to make it to that event that year but a week or two before it I hit a deer at 80mph with my family suv. So needless to say couldn’t make it. I might be able to make it to Dothan for this one though. What is the exact date?
Yes for sure it’s definitely crunch time for both gardens and propagation. I’m trying to get it all done but I’m always got too many things going on at once. Hopefully I can get all my tomatoes in the ground here soon. Went and got seeds for the varieties that should do best here as I usually hardy do well with them at all besides Everglades Tomato. Want good sized ones and enough to can our own sauces and such. Whole 72 plug try ready to get put in somewhere. As early as possible seems to be the trick to avoid the bugs here. Hopefully I can get a bunch of other stuff in as well asap. I’m done with buying a significant amount of produce. We grow a ton but still not the diversity of stuff we like to have regularly. Most my open space is taken up by potatoes and onions right now. Need to always expand every year to accommodate the stuff we want to grow.
This is Keepers – you could set up your nursery here! https://keepersoftheoldways.com/
I will have my nursery set up.
Hi David! Will you be making this a regular thing? We can’t make it this weekend but attend the Pcola farmer’s market often. Thanks!
Yes, it will be a regular thing. We won’t be there this week as it’s Holy Week, but we will next weekend.
