And both hard and rewarding to be leading the rest of us on the path of organic. Why don't you blog, you have so much to share and could teach us all?Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-36991037740383894652011-03-16T15:11:05.300-06:002011-03-16T15:11:05.300-06:00I'm going to try this again, lost the last one...I'm going to try this again, lost the last one I typed. Anyway. . .. I grow vegetables for us, used to go to farmer's market for about 12 years with veggies etc.(herbs and essential oils and homemade products from them) Had back surgery so stopped. Husband does lots of acres of organic grains. We live on a very eco balanced farm as we have ponds, woods, wild grasses etc. no domestic animmals tons of wild life as I saw 16 (I counted) deer in the field the other night munching away, and we have hardwoods in the back which house wild turkeys (there preferred habitat. We live in lower Michigan, about 40 miles from the suburbs of Detroit.helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281502711087571516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-65928678152379984032011-03-15T22:03:43.866-06:002011-03-15T22:03:43.866-06:00Helen, oh my, you're an organic farmer!

Thanks for sharing some of what you track each year, you must be a master at keeping records. I always forget to record weather, but just from my lowly one page here from a year ago, I can tell it was a much milder February in 2010 than this year.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071261854957363637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-69320625971308946502011-03-15T21:00:13.021-06:002011-03-15T21:00:13.021-06:00Being a certified organic farmer we have to have r...Being a certified organic farmer we have to have records of when what, and tillage etc. so anything done such as hoeing, compost added etc. i put in a "date" journal and the seeds planted and rate i.e. 2- 4ft. rows 2" apart etc. I also keep very detail records of weather (which effects crops)and harvested dates and amount harvested. anyway that's how I do it, it's daily what was/is done etc. Works well for me and the inspectors for certification always praise my records. :)helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281502711087571516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382541836368981865.post-41531917735479292502011-03-15T18:15:20.970-06:002011-03-15T18:15:20.970-06:00Deanna, oh goodie!
