Life on the farmette has been slow, however job changes have kept us in overdrive. So many events have happened since our last post! Babies being born, Gavin Blaise Russell August 3, 2009 and Genevieve (Nevie) Brown born this July! Kids graduating and getting married. Ian graduated this past June and is now attending Northern New Mexico U. Kyle and Miranda were married August 22 at the Lodge in the mountains of Santa Fe. Devin and I work for two holistic MD's who specialize in cardiology and pain management. A visit from Devin's mom and dad, and all of my children together once more for Kyle's wedding was a treat for us! WOW, a whole lifetime passed since our last post. Now, back to the farmette. Devin's garden....such a beautiful endeavor! Still we are enjoying his delicious bounty. He is definitely in tune with his plants. I will let him take over this blog post......take it away Devin!
Devin here. Getting ready for fall!!! Planted different varieties of lettuce, radishes, peas, carrots and
beets as well as rhubarb, mustard and collards in a separate location. Seed saving time also. Fermented tomato seeds in order to save them
for next year. I will have pictures of that process in future posts. Just made pickled quail eggs. We have 3 quail left out of 9. I had to cull 5 roos or they would kill each other and the 2 hens. Shortly after the culling process a raccoon got hold of one of the hens. Now I'm down to one :( That about sums it up. Can't wait for my garlic to arrive!! Should be here soon...time to get back to work. Here are some pictures of my pickled quail eggs and of my remaining 3 quail.

Hi Devin and Laurie...
Great update! FYI, Nevie was born May 29. We did have a great time when we visited, just wish we could have stayed longer. Instead of driving into snowfall when we left NM last time, we drove through 10 miles of hard rain and a thunderstorm (it really cleaned off our embarrassingly dirty car). I miss that kind of weather....so exciting! Hope you will add to Brownsbarnacles more often, I love to read all about what's happening where you are. Love, Mom
