I may have gotten carried away with the Easy Ferme I may have gotten carried away with the Easy Fermenter. Means I can make delicious fermented foods easily on an evening after work.

A gallon of my spicy kimchi using last year's dried pepper harvest, 1/2 gallon of pickles and soon some lemon dill sauerkraut followed by spicy fermented green beans.

The rampant raspberries have been churning out so The rampant raspberries have been churning out so many berries! 

The 1/4 acre of untamed raspberries that I've been picking over the last couple of weeks have resulted in a couple of gallons of berries in the freezer, 8 8oz jars of jam and several pints of fresh eating for us and the neighbors not to mention those eaten whilst picking 😄

Now it's time to leave what's left for the birds who will help keep the pests in check. What seems a mess in the yard can be a haven for pollinators and your garden pest police.

No pesticide, no fertilizer, left to nature. Some No pesticide, no fertilizer, left to nature. Some foraging around the homestead to find rogue raspberry canes.

Harvested 4 lbs of raspberries this week and we won't talk about how many got eaten whilst picking 😄

Cassini was the first of the cosmic collie naming Cassini was the first of the cosmic collie naming theme and right now this girl is the happiest she's been since Juno and Magellan arrived at the homestead!

Cuddles with Daddy made all the difference, this girl worked so hard with training and nailed it! Although something tells me that training with her Daddy might be better than training Mum 😂
