http://thelongshotfarm.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Chronicles of the Long Shot Farm. Sunday, September 28, 2014. It has been a while since we purchased our greenhouse ( see previous post. We finally had time to actually set it up in it's permanent place, i.e. in the herbgarden in front of the house. We started by clearing the space, measuring out the dimensions and marking the four post holes. We used the posthole digging attachment with the tractor to make the holes. Next step: installing all the glass panels, the door and the louvered windows. Fermenta...

We picked the majority of our Chambourcin two weeks after having picked the first batch (the grapes we used for the ros é. Wine) Luckily we had loads of helpers - big and small, and we ended up harvesting the remaining grapes in just a few hours. They were beautifully ripe, amazingly sweet grapes that should make a great wine! The Long Shot Farm. Follow Us On Twitter.

Chronicles of the Long Shot Farm: April 2015

Chronicles of the Long Shot Farm. Sunday, April 26, 2015. Updated Herb Garden Layout. Since we installed the greenhouse in the middle of the herb garden last fall, the former layout of the garden was completely off center. This weekend, we finally too some time to re-do the herb garden paths so they actually lead to the greenhouse door. It took quite some digging and moving dirt, but the end result was worth it! We now have much broader paths to reach the greenhouse, and still plenty of space for herbs.
