Green Work House

We finally put up a green house as a nursery and which would also serve as a work house and storage for the farm tools and equipment. Everything used here is recycled (coco lumber, door, roof, hinges, cement, rocks), except for the nails which had to be bought because the used ones run out. 

These stairs would serve as stands for the seedlings.

Mushrooms in the Farm

Mushrooms are sprouting out of our mushroom beds!

These white milky mushroom heads popped out after two weeks of their spawns were buried under carbonized rice hull and saw dust.

It's Green in the Farm!

It's been a while since the farm posted something here, but that doesn't mean we were quiet in the farm. In fact, it has been busy these past few months!

Mostly, we harvested a lot of produce after a marathon planting season. Indeed, seeing life happen is such a surreal thing. We planted, waited, watered, expected, and one day (or weeks I should say) miracles start to sprout. I say miracles because not all that we planted grew to become what they are now. And farming really brings me back to ground in awe of God's great design in nature. We plant, the sun shines, rain moistens the ground, we water when it's dry, and God makes them grow. 

For the past few months, we've been having mustard greens, lettuce and a lot of herbs. We've started recording most of what we got, and it's been overwhelming!

Basking in their sunshine! So green, so mustard!

They look like a lined-up army...of mustard greens!

Thanks for all the love Ate Lisa II!

Perfectly-lined heads of lettuce!

They curly design is hypnotic, intricate yet you know they dance in a pattern!

This is what I'm saying about only God can make things grow. See those six heads of lettuce who didn't grew past their size? They were all planted at the same time, same group of seeds, same plot, same sunshine, same water....
