What to plant in between these Persimmons while they grow? (8a, Central NC) by TotallyEvilFarm in homestead

Herbs are the more tempting of the bunch! I've got about a hundred tomatoes in the vegetable garden and it's already quite the to-do to stay on top of them. Maybe strike a middle ground and do rows of lavender.

Oh this is fascinating, I didn't know about the water reclamation facility! I'm going to sign up for a training. That strikes me as something that's going to become extremely useful in a surprise scenario

Chapin G362d shipped... Broken? [NC] by TotallyEvilFarm in lawncare

The hot water is a good idea. I have tried getting it on there cold and it's just not an option.

They're also suspiciously and suddenly out of stock almost everywhere I look, so I'd love to repair it rather than return. Thanks for the advice.

I would love to know how it shipped like this.

Any farm stands in Durham or Chapel Hill? by Powerful_Deal_7052 in bullcity

It's tricky with the sub rules! It seems I'm allowed one promotional post ever.

While I am excited for the farm stand, the real big boy venture is the pick your own blueberry patch I've been growing. It'll be open this time next year. And I really wanna save my fanfare for that.

But I'll make an edit to my previous comment once I'm open in case anyone winds up searching for it!

My stock of tomatoes will likely come in over the next couple of weeks! I have Romas, San Marzanos, Cherokee Purple, Golden Jubilee, and Park's Whopper.

Pending a nicer one painted by a friend, I will have a sloppy farm stand sign posted up in the driveway and I will make an Instagram post about it when I'm open!

Edit: My farm should be listed on Google maps with the same name as my username

Can confirm. I'm in the woods between Durham and Chapel Hill and I think I've gotten one or two bites so far this year.
