Welcome to Snowflake Farms


January 28
Welcome to Snowflake Farms

Welcome to our view from northern Michigan and our 23 acre "farm" and our "mini-farm" of 1.9 acres. We're experimenting with plants, methods and techniques both plant-wise and building-wise while we work toward eventually landing permanently at our "big" farm.


Today's view at our "mini" farm. Looks harmless enough but the past three nights have been brutally cold! Try -26°F, -22°F and -22°F for cold. Yowie!!
The cranberry cuttings I took by digging through the snow on January 7th are growing nicely in our sand grow box. Only one of the original hollyhock seeds is still growing and has already been transplanted into a small container.
One of the cherry type tomato plants that we brought in last fall has a new blossom on it!! Two plants currently survived our December cold adventures. Our brilliant pink cactus is flowering the second time, also.
