In January of 2006, we purchased our 40 acre farm in the Ozark Hills of Missouri. The following July we realized our dream and made the jump from life in the city to country living. This blog is about my homesteading adventures since then.

Lettuce and spinach and collards, oh my! We are overrun with spring produce. Kale, mustard greens, swiss chard, new zealand spinach, turnips, beets, carrots - all coming out our ears (or somewhere anyway).

We also have broccoli about two feet tall that hasn't begun to flower yet, peas that are blooming and producing like crazy, and - believe it or not - tomatoes that are flowering!

I went to the local farmers market a couple of Saturdays ago and made about $20 on our excess lettuce, spinach and radishes. This week we are blanching and freezing the rest of the greens to make room in the garden for green beans and corn.

I can't believe how big all of our produce is! Looks like we are on our way to stocking up for the winter...
