Pittsburgh Backyard Farmings
Weekly Update 6/4/13
What's Going On In Our Garden
May has come and gone and we've coasted right into June! Strawberry season is in full swing here at PBF! We've been picking berries daily and sometimes twice a day!
News around our backyard farm:
- We have a bunch of new blog posts almost ready to be published!
- We finally got around to redoing the front flower bed as a mothers day gift!
- If you guys haven't checked out these pages you have to!
- We attempted to make homemade butter, noddles, bread, and strawberry pie! All turned out good and we will have blog posts soon!
- We made the paper again! Mr. Brown needs to get over the fact that more and more families are doing the backyard chicken thing! It's a popular upcoming hobby! Even though he grew up on a "farm" doesn't mean he knows ALL about backyard small scale chicken keeping!!!
- We want to hear from you guys! What do you want to see? Let us know by sending a message or comment below!
