Tales from the Green Valley - 5 & 6

3/19/2021

0 Comments

 
January comes to the farm as the team works on maintenance around the farm.  The well doesn't freeze for the team during winter.  They finally face some bitterly cold weather which makes it hard to work outdoors.  They work on the hedges while the animals are indoors and the leaves are gone.  Alex works on hedge laying, this forms an animal proof fence that animals can't pass through.  A hedge is often thought as a living hedge as the trees and weaving get stronger over time.

Ruth and Chloe much out the stalls.  Stuart makes ink as well as working on his shoes.  Ruth works on making medicine for the people on the farm.  She starts off with sage oil.

Tales from the Green Valley Episode 6
The Team works on a new privy, taking care of the animals, laundry and some additional maintenance around the farm.  They get their first snow on the farm.

Alex, Peter and Stuart knock down the privy and build a new one.  The first thing they do after knocking down the privy was cleaning the pit and digging it deeper.  Peter has to dig out the privy after loosing out on a game of Hazard.

Chloe works with the ponies to train them to be working farm animals.   Stuart works on getting the pea seeds ready for planting.
