I believe in this lifestyle, even though there's a lot to learn in making the transition.

In early June my family will move from a subdivision to a five acre farm nearby. Our vision is similar to yours and your candid and thorough blogging has helped define some starting points for us and given me inspiration and excitement to start well and with purpose. I have started reading from the beginning of your blog - staying up late, taking notes, and thinking. I just got through 2009 and am eager to continue. Already I have learned so much. Thank you. <br />As a side note, that tiny shower you had reminded me of the "master bath" in and old church parsonage we lived in years ago. An older man familiar with the design told us that we might be better off soaping up the walls then spinning around in a circle to show er!Rachel Kitzmillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425057632950861235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-24029061475418840722018-05-20T21:14:25.104-04:002018-05-20T21:14:25.104-04:00Ed, LOL.

It started to dry out then, so I thought I'd better get it out of the ground! Nice to have fresh garlic.

I don't feed it daily, mind you, only as an antibiotic as needed or once a month as part of my worming program. Powdered garlic is included in a number of herbal wormers so I'm going to guess that in general small amounts once a month don't cause a flavor problem. Dried leaves will be least potent, of course, so I'm not anticipating a problem!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-41245142635535002582018-05-19T00:58:14.984-04:002018-05-19T00:58:14.984-04:00I am most interested in the outcome.

As it is my experience that what goes in goat comes out and can leave an off taste to the milk with the likes of garlic and onions especially. So what is the verdict?
