CONGRATULATIONS ON THE FARM!!!!!!!!!
That is fantastic news!! I am so happy for you!! I have a few small purple sweet potatoes set aside for you. When you get moved in, drop me a PM with your mailing address and I'll send them to you. You can start vines from them for spring planting. I also have some green bean seeds for you.
I am so excited! What kind of wire are you going to put up? I am using horse wire with the 2"x4" squares. It is more expensive than the goat wire, but I like it that the small holes will keep everything in, even chickens!
I've been at our new place this week. I finally finished the 2nd coat of paint. I tore up vinyl floors and got the sub floors prepped for laying the pine floors. I am exhausted and have a head cold now.![]()


I am so excited about getting your purple sweet potato slips!!! And bean seeds too!!!

We LOVE green beans. Summer before last we grew them until they were coming out our ears. We froze them, pressure canned them, and even dehydrated them. And we used them all up by the beginning of last summer!
We are having a man come give us an estimate for putting our fence in. DH just doesn't have the energy to dig fence posts or stretch wire anymore. I'm with y'all on the 2X4" woven wire. We are going to put a hot wire 6" above the ground and maybe at the top. If we don't put hot wire on the top, we will at least string barb wire along the top. We plan to train the goats and dogs to the hot wire, from the git go! So, hopefully we won't have them testing it and figuring out they can push past it quick.
I'm sorry you got that bad cold. It's not easy to get all that work done when you are sick. Please take it easy until you feel better, so your body can heal. In case you didn't see it, I posted everything I do, to get over a cold more quickly, on my LGD Adventure thread. Maybe something there will help you feel better.
