Huffman's Fish Farm Spring 2013



Our fish are 7-8 inches long already!

 

I cant believe we go these little guys just a few months ago! They were just fingerlings about 3inches long! And now they are almost 8 inches!
We are going to be placing them out in our pond in about 2 months and plan on eating them close to the end of September! They should be a good pan size by then!
We will also be setting up our Hydoponics system and hooking it up to the pond. This system should prove to be awesome! The plants will be above the pond area and we should be able to harvest several containers of tomatoes, bells, chili's, lettuce and herbs!
I'm sure it will keep my dehydrator and canning pots busy all summer! LOL! I will continue to keep you posted and will take pictures of our progress as well!
All for now!

Greetings friends!
The weather here is wonderful in SUNNY
CALIFORNIA!


I realize it's snowing in alot of other parts of the country... :( I'm sorry! BUT, Spring is just about here and I wanted to share this with you!
With Saint Patricks day coming up on us, I was thinking how awesome it would be if not only Do the "Wearing of the green" But how about some "Sharing of the green"???? NOT CASH!!! LOL! Although that could work for any of us! LOL! But sharing a seedling or starter veggie plant with your friends!
By helping someone get started growing veggies and fruit youre helping them learn in a sideways way to "Prep'!
I urge you to give it a try! Im sure the people you give them to will appreciate it!
The photos shown above are from years past...I was living in the mountains and couldnt plant ANYTHING in the yard for fear of ground squirrels and the Gophers would nibble them to well...nothing!!!! After hundreds of dollars and heartache I decided to grow my 'SALAD" bowl garden up on my deck where the critters (well most of them) couldnt get to before I got to enjoy the fruits of my labors!
I went to K-Mart and purchased a children's hard plastic wading pool, drilled holes a couple of inches apart all over the bottom and filled the bottom of the pool with rocks. then I put potting soil and mulch.
At one point I put up a small trellis in the center for the Beans and planted several types of lettuce, radishes and carrots, tomatoes and herbs...It was sooooo easy to take care of, just being able to walk around it and pull weeds or pick the veggies was so worth it! I had put it up on a large patio table for easier access, no bending over!!!
After doing that it was always my favorite way to have a garden or two on my deck/patio!
Just wanted to share that with you, have a warm, safe and happy week!
Remember to Store some Water!
Peace!

I hope y

 

So Glad you stopped by!

Hello! So glad you decided to stop by! Have you checked out our new web page? It's changing almost daily! Our new food line "simply" has been launched and is getting rave reviews! Come by and get a "taste" test!
Wanted to remind you as well, EVERYDAY is a PREP day! Make sure you put aside some more water, add a few items to your emergency food pantry every week and take an inventory on what you have in the way of food and first aide and make sure to add to what you need!
Keep in mind as well personal care products. These can be purchased inexpensively. Baby wipes etc.Toothpaste, tooth brushes, shampoo and conditioner. Bath and body soaps.

The Dollar store is one of the best places to go for your prepping needs! I have found alot of great deals from basic personal care products to hardware and storage wear to great deals on favorite canned goods!

Second hand and thrift shops are great resources for prepping too!m I have found excellent deals on camping equipment, winter clothing, Hiking and snow boots and shampoo samples! You really never know what you may find! It's a virtual treasure hunt!!!

I hope you have a awesome weekend! PLEASE be mindful and prep something this weekend!
Peace!

WE have BABIES! Whoot!

Over 150 new baby Talapia!

 

This morning I was walking past the fish tank and saw a bunch of little things  floating in the tank, I thought how strange since I hadn't fed them anything abnormal to cause that, so I went and grabbed my glasses and what do ya know! TONS of little frys! That's the momma shown here, she keeps them safely in her mouth!
So,  we went and bought a "Nursery" tank for them and now Bill is getting it all set up for them! Looks like these will be way more prolific than I thought!
Anyone interested in setting up a talapia tank??? Talk to me! LOL!

So, we will need to get another tank for these guys as they grow!
Too fun!

Peace!
Sherry
