Rich Heritage: April 2009
http://richheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2009. Can you envision a freshly mowed spring lawn covered in the white, soft seed heads of dandelions? I’m not talking about one or two just ushering the new warmth of spring, but so many it just ruins the look of yesterday’s effort. Well now keep that same image in your mind, except substitute the fluffy balls of the dandelions with over 60 fluffy white Texas A&M quail! Before everybody starts booing me, I did catch two of them and put them back up. After I got home this afternoo...

Tuesday, March 31, 2009. More Quail Eggs Went to a New Home Today. In case I haven't bored you to tears yet, I'll get to the post I intended today. Saturday, March 28, 2009. Plants Set Out in Two Square Foot Gardens. We set out pole beans, cucumbers, squash, zucchinis and okra in one of the 4X8 beds. This bed had been constructed last week; however, we had to put it in place, install weed barrier fabric, mix and fill it with the soil. Labels: Square Foot Gardening. Wednesday, March 25, 2009.

http://richheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2009/04/hatched-and-strawberries-blooming.html
Saturday, April 4, 2009. A&Ms Hatched and Strawberries Blooming. Outside of the fact I missed everything today because of Guard Drill. Rich Heritage has continued to produce. The strawberry plants from my FIL's patch started blooming today. The Tristars we ordered are putting on some leaves and actually look like plants now. I believe two of them are goners but we'll just have to wait and see. How many eggs did you set this time? April 5, 2009 at 1:59 PM. April 5, 2009 at 7:34 PM. View my complete profile.

Rich Heritage: Our Three Fruit Trees Arrived Today
http://richheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2009/04/our-three-fruit-trees-arrived-today.html
Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Our Three Fruit Trees Arrived Today. I have a weakness for green apples. I honestly start scavenging the trees when the apples are no bigger than a golf ball. The more sour they are the better I like them. We received the beginnings to our little orchard today from Stark Bro's. nursery. 1 Stark Lodi Apple. 1 Starkspur UltraMac Apple. 1 Starkrimson Sweet Cherry. The Lodi and the UltraMac are supposed to be good pollinators for each other and the Sweet Cherry is self-pollinating.

Rich Heritage: October 2008
http://richheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2008. How it all started. After 9/11 I joined the Army National Guard. I had been Active Duty Air Force for almost 11 years before. I don't take our freedom for granted, and I did what I thought I should do. Notice that I said "I" not that I think that everyone should join. This is not a political or pro military post. I was deployed to Iraq in September. I bought two goats! I didn't know you couldn't put them on a chain where they could reach just a section of the fence and let them ...

Rich Heritage: More Quail Eggs Went to a New Home Today
http://richheritagefarm.blogspot.com/2009/03/more-quail-eggs-went-to-new-home-today.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2009. More Quail Eggs Went to a New Home Today. In case I haven't bored you to tears yet, I'll get to the post I intended today. Congrats on the egg sale, Brad! My family also learned about livestock through trial and error when I was a kid. When we got our first ducks and chickens, many were carted away by hawks and raccoons. We had baby chicks get flattened in odd corners in the nest and since we never used a heat lamp (my parents were terrified of fire! March 31, 2009 at 9:07 PM.
