Homestead Happenings for February 2025

Midsummer on the PNW Homestead

These lists are adapted from the Backyard Homestead Seasonal Planner by Ann Larkin Hansen as well as some of the garden info from Oregon State University. Enjoy! Amy

Mommy Dearest

This week we had a couple of really nice days to work outside (and play some too). There were woods walks, garden projects, Shane's continued chicken coop building, some sheep news, some sad news unfortunately, and more! Enjoy the happy parts! Amy Ranch Manager
