Pretty Adelphi californica, California sister butterfly. They are common to California, also found in Nevada and Oregon as well as northern Baja California. They breed on oak trees. (Info from Wikipedia)

Hi Sun Time Farm! Everything looks green and ready to take off to the skies. Looking forward to another great season. Do you feed the grapes anything like fert or compost or are they pretty self sufficient? Wish you all the best! 🌏
@suntimefarm Ай бұрын
It really is! I’m also looking forward to seeing all the growth this year. I’m going to spread some compost but then watch them and see if they might need something more… their roots are very, very old and go down really far, so I’m hoping they will find what they need, but I’ll let you know if I add something more. Thanks for swinging by the farm!

Hello- I am new to y'all's channel. I am from Oklahoma. I just finished my last job as a travel nurse in Winslow Az but I stayed in Holbrook at an RV park. One of the fellas who helped with maintenance said he had family that had a KZbin channel. I can't remember if he said it was his daughter or granddaughter. He talked so highly of you all. So here I am following along on your journey. Beautiful homestead by the way.

I applaud the effort. Grapes produce on the canes that come off the cordons. There is main trunk, 4 to 6 cordons off of those that get cut back at 5 to 6 feet, and then the fruiting canes. Each year you pruning back to almost the cordon. So anything that grows is off last years growth. There are some great low cost books on the subject. The best fruit comes from the canes that are within 6 feet of the main trunk growing off the cordons. It is hard to destroy a grape vine. Just you can not get a good harvest for a year because of a mistake. Trust me it took a few serious mistakes with grapes to figure out I needed to read a few books

I understand how to prune manicured grapes… but this is something I haven’t had the chance to try. We still got grapes off these and I still would like to this year. These were planted in the early 80s and while some of them I took back more than others, and I do plan to slowly train them, just not worth not have any grapes this year in my opinion.

You know the condition of your soil better than anyone else. If you feel that tilling is the right thing to do, then you are correct. You certainly made the chickens happy! Picking up all those rocks will definitely be a time consuming project. Glad you felt comfortable swimming in the river even if it was cold. I would love to have had a slice of your fresh-baked bread. BTW--Retro running (running backwards) actually strengthens the knee joints.

Thank you for the walk through an amazing snowscape. So peaceful! I had been wondering how the snow had affected your area.

I hope your compost decomposes into nutrient-dense soil. I've been reading about the dam removal projects on the Klamath River. Some people call it an ecological disaster; others call it an innovative step to resorting the health of the river. I don't know enough about the situation to have an educated opinion. I do hope that your section of the river clears up soon enough for your family to enjoy it when warm weather arrives.
@suntimefarm 3 ай бұрын
Yes, it’s been a debate for years… In my opinion, the ecological disaster started a century ago when we started damming this river… But basically what happened was the power company that owned these dams didn’t want to pay for the repairs they needed to keep up with new codes so they sold the dams to the state. The tribes around here have been working really hard to preserve the salmon, and the farms up river really dont want to loose their irrigation and man made lake front property so that’s why there’s some debate. Either way the dams had to come down. It will take some time to make it look pretty again and clear out all the sediment and restore the rivers edges after being under a lake. We will probably swim in it any way 🤣

You guys are such an inspiration and so right about things we take for granted. ❤❤

No, the tank is manually filled, we have an alarm to turn it on and off every couple days so we don’t forget about it lol.
