Bumpass Family Homestead - Farm Stand

Bumpass Family Homestead - Farm Stand We are starting small, but have plans to expand as we add a greenhouse and garden spaces.

My passion for gardening and crafting has lead me to start this farm stand to offer flowers, plants, homegrown produce and handmade crafts to the local community.

I thought I had posted this yesterday, but apparently it didn't actually post 🙄

I worked hard this weekend and got a deck/ramp built for the front of the greenhouse, and I also got a table base built for a glass table top that had been left under our back porch by the previous owners.

I am exhausted today, but really happy with how things are coming along!

I still need to put an outdoor stain on the deck/ramp and the table base, but that will be work for another day.

I think these look pretty good in the garden, I can't wait to build more!

It's a cold day, but pretty and sunny, so I got outside and made some trellises! They ended up being a little too big to go in some of the planters that I had originally planned to put them in, so I will be making use of them somewhere else either in the greenhouse or the front garden. I didn't use any plans, just kind of came up with the measurements as I put them together. I plan to make more of them now that I have these to reference. I think they will allow me to get a lot more out of my growing spaces, and hopefully they will hold up against the wind better than others I have used.

All of my shelves are officially done, including 2 more that I built and installed today. I also got all of my plants moved out of my garage and into the greenhouse. I am so excited to have this space!

I still need to tidy some things up in here and get some trellises made.

One of the next big projects I need to do is make a ramp and kind of a small porch type platform in front of the doors, so I can easily bring a wheelbarrow in and out.

I can't wait to see how things change over the next few months as I really get things growing in here!

I was able to work all afternoon, until I ran out of light, and get all 6 shelves built and installed. I still need to finish up the wire mesh on all of the shelves, so hopefully I can do that tomorrow.

I am worn out, but so happy to have gotten these done!

We did it! There is lots of finishing work that still needs to be done, but we got the plastic on, so we are way closer to being done now.

Now I need to get some seeds going!

I worked from like 8 or 9 something until about 5:45 today getting the second door in and the rest of the wiggle wire tracks on the greenhouse. We unfortunately ran out of time for getting the plastic on, so we'll have to try to do that next weekend when we have a few hours together to do it. But we are getting so close! I will need to build some shelves and a proper ramp after we get the plastic on, so still lots to do.

Everything is so wonky on this building, because, well, we are not professionals and we are working on a budget, but at least I will soon be able to grow things in it, and at the end of the day, that is what really matters.

I hope you all had a great weekend!

When you are a gardener with ADHD and going out to pull a few weeds turns into hauling a bunch of heavy stones to build a border for some garden beds 😅. I will need to go buy something similar to finish the smaller bed, but I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out. But I'm pretty sure I pulled multiple muscles, so now I can't lift heavy stuff with my left arm 😬 🤷. At least I can just about check off one of my tasks on my long list of things to do around here.

When you just can't resist the end of the year mystery grab bags that some seed companies are having 😅 The ones I got from this company, Seed Needs, had a lot more variety than others I ordered, so I definitely recommend them if you are wanting to get stocked up on some good seeds for this coming year.

I hope you all are staying warm during the cold front that is rolling through East Texas today. I will be going out later today to get a few things covered up since we are supposed to get to a very chilly 26 degrees 🥶

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Sunday!

I'm trying something new this year in hopes that I can have a more productive garden. I decided to get a Seedtime account so that I can schedule my garden tasks and make sure I am planting things at the right times. I am really excited to see how this helps me be more productive and not miss out on the ideal planting times, as well as making sure I am doing succession plantings so that I get the most out of my growing spaces.

I have also been trying to learn as much as I can about the things I will be growing. I'm watching lots of videos and online gardening courses, as I really want to figure out how to have the ideal spaces and soil for each thing I am growing.

I've been ordering some more seeds so I can have some fun new things to grow. I'm still waiting for a few other orders to come in. Some of the duplicate seeds that I got in some mystery bags will be going to my friends and family who also garden.

Today my husband picked up a load of soil for the greenhouse, and I got about half of it unloaded and into the greenhouse beds. Not sure that we will have enough to fill them all this go around, so may be needing more soon. But I am so excited to see the greenhouse coming along and to get to growing things in it. I'm still waiting for some things to come in for closing in the greenhouse (some things got lost in shipping 🫤), and I need to finish our second door, but we are getting closer!

I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed weekend!
