Filed under: Podcast, Animals, Garden — andrew at 9:57 pm on Sunday, February 8, 2009

This week we start looking at what our plans are for the garden this year. We look back at the last few years, what worked, and what didn’t work in our garden. Tell us your thoughts at 206-202-GOAT.

We have some bad news this week, Cream the goat and Boots the cat passed away. She was 12 which is doing well for a girl that’s had ~25 kids, 12 for us alone. These are pictures of Cream and boots.

Barncast 155 — Bees

Filed under: Podcast — andrew at 10:07 pm on Sunday, February 1, 2009

We have a fun show this week that went together despite our best efforts. Our pre-amp battery was dead, the ipod we use for the bumpers was dead, etc. But it all works out in the end and the show came together. We have 3 great phone calls, and then we take a talk about bees. Yes in the middle of winter! Plus if you are planning on getting started in beekeeping this year it’s time to start thinking about it.

Make sure to call the farm phone 206-202-GOAT!
