Top 5 Hot Food Trends For 2013 – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/ec/2013/03/06/top-5-hot-food-trends-for-2013/
Although I did not write these four articles, I do have permission to post them and the content is very revelent to this website. I hope you will enjoy them.
If you’re wondering why the blog posts have dropped off, frankly it is because spring on a farm is a very busy time. I have 20 chicks indoors I am rearing, 4 hens that are finally laying (yes, that means 4 eggs per day), goats that need milking, goat kids to care for and thousands of seedlings to start (I’m almost at 7,000 seedlings and not close to being done).
We are making plans to re-do the garden. I am hoping to get 7 hot beds in place, some raised bed coldframes and the large garden in order this year. I am also hoping to get the large greenhouse repaired so I can use it. We have been putting up lattice and privacy fence like made. There are tons of changes going on. I’m also prepping for the Marion Open Air Market. I want to make sure I have lots of craft products to sell in addition to fresh produce, herbs, seeds and seasoning blends.
You can see photos of some of the things we have been doing on the monthly photo calendar. The February 2013 photo calendar is finally completed and you can view The Month In Photos here – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/eh/2013/02/10/february-2013-the-month-in-photos/
Of course if you want to see what has been happening in March, you will want to check out the March 2013 photo calendar which is here – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/eh/2013/03/06/march-2013-the-month-in-photos/

It’s been a hit-and-miss month for posting here on ExperimentalHomesteader.com, that’s for sure. I’m spending a lot of time germinating seeds, collecting data and thinking about what to post next.
Today, I am doing a lot of revamping of the Exotic Gardening Thoughts section. There are posts to update and pictures to add.
So far today, there are three new posts for you to read. The first two are in the Seed Germination Database. The first post is on Theobroma cacao (chocolate) – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/ex/2013/01/23/theobroma-cacao/
The second post is Michelia – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/ex/2013/01/23/michelia/
You can expect a lot of new Seed Germination Database and Plant Encyclopedia posts in the near future.
The third post Just One More Greenhouse – Please – is about my obsession with seed starting and growing tropical plants – http://experimentalhomesteader.com/ex/2013/01/23/just-one-more-greenhouse-please/
I hope you enjoy the posts and look forward to your feedback.
