Prepping for the week of May 11 -17
I am now keeping our vehicles topped off with fuel whenever possible.
I just got my monthly Azure Standard order, and I am trying buckwheat out as a whole grain to add to the rotation. Buckwheat has a great nutritional profile and has a small amount of protein.
The wild lettuce is trying to bolt, so I will be harvesting some for salads before it gets too bitter. Wild lettuce is a beneficial weed that is actually really healthy. It is slightly bitter like arugula, but not quite as bad if you pick it young enough. Since it is a weed, it pretty much plants and grows itself, I just stopped trying to get rid of it and started eating it instead.
The theme this week is getting ready for fire season and summer.
This week we will finish mowing the grass around the trailers and tractors for fire season. I do miss having the goats at the house to do this job for me. They ARE mowing the grass at the farm and loving it.
The rabbit barn will get moved to a more shady spot this week, which I am hiring help for.
Also decluttering my farm/gardening stuff. Farms all have junk piles, but it got a little out of hand last year as my life was unraveling month after month. These piles are hard to mow around and can trap wildfire embers, starting a new fire.
What is a "wild or weedy" plant that you use or are curious to try?
