This DR brush mower will go through almost anything. I wish I had taken a 'before' pic - it was very jungle-like.
There is a lot of land to clear on this future homestead, and most is being done with a chainsaw and this walk-behind brush hog.

Pic is not as good as yours. In fact, I didn't even capture the Humble sign in the frame, but here's a shot I took last year.

I planted 2 apple trees (Anna, shown, and a Golden Dorsett), 1 pear (Kieffer to go with a Tennousi and a Acres Home already planted), and a fig (Chicago Hardy to go with a Celeste). Root veggies and borage seeded around the base. I also have 2 plum trees.

I love Mediterranean, and Fadi's is my favorite around. The wife and I enjoyed the cuisine not long ago.

Made it out of this year's Fort Bend Master Gardeners fruit tree sale with two apple trees (Anna and Dorsett) and one pear tree (Kieffer). These will be the 1st apple, but 3rd pear in the food forest I'm building on the future #homestead.

I had a frightening experience on Saturday while burning brush on the future #homestead. The wind picked up causing the #fire to spread beyond my control, and for a moment, I feared it would reach a nearby wooded area dense with fuel. I sustained minor burns on my legs but am otherwise unharmed.

We had a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago. I covered the bed, and most plants made it. I have two Napa cabbages, both looking pretty good now.

I plant #flowers mostly to attract pollinators to my #vegetablegarden, but I think this gerbera is really pretty, as well.

Greenery for the winter planted - Napa cabbage, spinach, collards, mustard greens, lettuce, rosemary, and oregano.

It seemed really petty of the Titans to wear the old Oilers uniforms and print the Oilers logos on the field for last week's game against the Texans.

I took this picture of a Texas longhorn at the entrance to Palo Duro Canyon.
