Autumn Chores - Thinking toward Spring on the Farm

Our son, Xander, loves the farm life!  I'm sure you'll see him many times over the course of our journey here at Homeschool On the Range.  If you love his work, click on the Xander tag at the bottom of this post to find more!

This is our outside winter garden.  There isn't a lot there, but it is cabbage, beets, and lettuce....rabbit food.  Maybe I can get a rabbit!

It doesn't look like much, but my brother and I spent the whole day hoeing rows down this garden and planting seeds.  I will take another picture in few months.  There better be plants there then!

Last summer, our lettuce bolted (that means it got bitter and too yucky to eat), and it looks like the smoke from a space shuttle taking off!!!

We also grew squash and green peas.  I don't like either of those things, but my mom cuts them up teeny tiny and makes stir fry with them.

We got a small greenhouse to start our plants in.  This is us putting together the greenhouse.  It worked out really well because we got a lot of beets and kale this winter.  I hate beets and kale.  Yuck.

It's such a pretty day!
