The Internet Has Spoken

-


We did a risky move and decided to let the internet name our new business.  Well, we told them we would pick a name in the top 5 names.  I mean this is the internet, you have to put some limits or the name would probably be Boaty Mcboat Face.  So what were the top five names you ask.....
  1. Not A Wasp Farm
  2. 2 Bees or not 2 Bees (which we shortened)
  3. Goldenglow Estates
  4. The Birds and The Bees
  5. Let It Bee
Though I feel like a few should have honorable mention such as;

Arkham Beesylum for the Criminally Insane (I had visions of my husband running around saying "I'm Beeman!")
Honey McBee Face
Petting Zoo For The Brave
Hivey McHiveface
Bee Team
STEVE!

I feel like you all deseve a round of applause.   In fact I am sitting in my living room clapping all by myself for you all.  Well, this feels awkward...

So why are we starting a farm?  This is nothing like our other businesses.  We felt that with this business we wanted to do something really positive.  We are creating a completely self sustaining farm using green materials.  We are trying to tackle two of the biggest issues facing the planet, our declining bee population along with food shortages.  So we plan to set up an Apiary along with draught tolerant plants.  We will be documenting every step of the way.

We are really excited about this project!  Please stay tuned for more updates and future naming projects.  Please let us know if you would like to help out.

Farmer's Almanac Garden Planner

We just finished our 2019 garden plans for our potager garden.  I can't rave enough about The Farmer's Almanac's Garden Planner.  I originally tried the one through  BHG.com that is free.  It's great if you are doing a small backyard garden.  But it is really limited on what plants you can use or what buildings/planters are available.  I don't believe you can design an area over 100 sq ft.  The farmer's Almac Garden Planner is completely worth the $29 a year, if you need a more comprehensive planner..  It's another $6 for the app, if you want to connect them altogether.  I was able to get 10% off the program the day after Thanksgiving though. The Farmer's Almanac lets you design up to a 10,000 sq ft at a time.  Which I thought at first I would map out most of the farm's growing beds with that.  But I found it too overwhelming.  I personally like doing a section at a time.  Maybe one general full farm plan without...

We are moving to the farm for good.

A lot has been going on lately.  But I should start a month back until now.  Last month during that freak snow storm that hit the southwest, that is when we moved the farm truck from Texas to Arizona.  Of course whenever you plan time off work, the weather will be terrible.  This was the road in front of the farm. It's hard to figure out the scale of this property.   A lot of what looks like bushes are actually fully grown Pinion pine and Alligator Juniper trees. For scale that's our F150 truck next to a tree. We had a lot of chores planned to accomplish this weekend to make our move easier.  But other than leaving the truck, the only thing we did was designate our future driveway.  We have our 911 address set up.  So encase of an emergency, gps should be able to get emergency personnel to our farm.   We can't get mail delivered here.  That isn't a big deal, there were places in San Antonio ...
