Grape Starts



Hardy Heirloom Variety Grape Starts

Catawba 10
Fredonia 11
Concord10
Golden muscot 5
Chambourin 5
Traminette 5

Bare root, buds already swelling, some already have nice leaves. These varieties will have seeds, all grow well in our zone 6.
These are currently growing in a greenhouse, so you will have to protect them indoors or in a greenhouse,
until chance of frost has passed.

$6 each, or if you purchase 6+ plants, then $5 each.

Economical way to start your small or large home vineyard! Self sufficiency, to include raising some of our own food, has never been more important in my opinion.

Hello Fall And My Backyard Nursery

 



Hi all! 

So sorry that I've been "absent" from really all of my online platforms. There were many challenges and changes for me this year. I lost my dad to cancer July 4th, which has left our family so lost and that we hardly know what to do with ourselves. He was a big man, and a big presence, and will be missed every single day until we see him again on the other side...

I also started the backyard nursery and have fought the heat, now drought, pests and weeds all summer. Everything is set up just very basic and I have plans for how I want to set up things and "grow" as time goes on. So far, everything is doing fairly well, to include rooting hundreds of cuttings! We had record heat this summer, and now we're getting record cold. Missouri! It's really a challenge to raise living things here with the radical weather we get. For now, I'll be focusing on mainly boxwoods and other evergreens, and hydrangeas to include hydrangea trees. I'll have a few other things as well, but those are my main projects. 

I do have a few silkies available if anyone local is looking. I'm not shipping chicks at this time, and don't know if I will in the future. I will however, be shipping liner size plants. 

I hope you all are doing well. I'm so glad most of the horrible heat is outta here! 

Take care!

New Year, New Babies

 

Hi guys..I've been off Facebook, and social media period, for a while, hope you all are doing ok and had a good holiday season?!
Here's some grow-outs from my Paint Silkie group..loving how well they are turning out. Great feathering, and some pretty spots popping up! I've had to put up with them inside(mudroom off the kitchen), but my silkies are laying well even though it's cold, so I'm going to hatch early and be done with the majority of the hatch well before the hot weather and buffalo gnats start up. I have 18 nuggets cooking in the incubator as well, and 22 more ready to go in. I'll be up to my eyeballs in Silkies 😄

I have one baby that is either a normal frizzled silkie that's extra curly, or, she's what they call a "Woolie" in Silkie circles. My Silkies have a lot of Sherri Minker's blood lines in them, and she's has these Woolies pop up from Time to time. A mutation of the Frizzle gene?

Time will tell..her name is Bo Peep. LoL


The old timers always say that chicks hatched in Feb/march do the best for them, and they're definitely always through hatching for the year by June. From past experiences, I definitely agree.

Take care and happy hatching! 🐣

Elderberry Syrup

 Hi guys, here we are, back to cold and flu season. Then there's also that sickness going around which shall not be named 🙄



I've made elderberry syrup to help guard against all of those things, and you can also use it to treat these sicknesses more aggressively. 

If you're interested in making your own, here's a great video by Amy Fewell that's an immense help:


Stay well!
