My wife and I cleared an area for the garden a couple weeks ago and I have been hand tilling the sod. I'm about 1/4 way done...whew(hard work).Next year we hope to have a tractor.



We also have been clearing the pond area.
The pond is not only a water resource but a recreation area as well.
there is abundant wild life around. There's Bass, Sunfish, Catfish and small feeder fish of some sort. There's Frogs, turtles, birds, ducks and even a heron that hangs around. We have also seen Raccoon, Dear and maybe some sort of big cat, possibly dog tracts.

Im off to go dig in the garden

This site will chronicle our efforts to create our homestead. We have recently purchased 20 + acres in south Texas and hope to do some ranching (3 cows), some farming( 45x60 foot garden), some building ( a new house) and some relaxing (BBQs by the pond)

Stay tuned...!
