My friends call me Ax for short, my wife and I have a Organic garden 120'x62' and a orchard with plum trees apple trees no apples yet? peach trees no good peaches yet, pear trees gobs of pears and they are good, and we are trying our hand at Russian pomegranates, grapes and blueberry's with not so much luck
. We also raise male asparagus a small bed 8'x45', Next year going bigger with the asparagus farming. Just love the green stuff....money too. We do this for a hobby its about 80% hobby that we give away and 20% we eat our self. My wife and I can every year and we love our garden for that purpose.
For equipment we have a:
2000 GMC 1 ton dump truck,hauling turkey litter, white sand from the mines and saw dust for beds and garden, black dirt for garden and beds rock for driveways
Kubota BX-2670 tractor w/loader mowing deck, and a 4' tiller New tractor has 3 hrs on it now. Traded in the old kubota...
18' flat bed trailer for hauling tractor, hay and straw.
Gas powered cultivator 16" for weed control
4 shovels, 5 rakes, 3 hoes,1 pick, 1 axe, 6' pry bar,
3-pt center plow for digging potatoes and sweet potatoes.
hand plow for making nice straight rows for planting seeds,
3-point Spreader for fertilizer, hand spreader, 1- 330 gallon rain tank,
and about 4 acres of grass to mow every week.
I was raised on a small farm in Iowa and my wife was raised by a truck farmer. we live about 50' from our garden and trees. I have been doing everything from inventing things and have patents and we both love to travel. I was an orphan in the start of my life and was adopted, my wife was a daughter of a very nice man and she became a Orphan hunter to try and catch one to get married to. well it was something like that, she can tell a better story than I can.
We are both retired and I retired when I was 52 and I'm proud to say I will be 65 in a few months and my wife still won't tell me for sure how old she is but she never heard of "howdy doody" ? Hmmm.
We have family in Florida so we go there for our fruits and some plants and sun tan to cover our farmers tan......later and God Bless.
