Geez I am too far. It’s everywhere out here in Prince Edward County. I’m planning on planting a bunch of dogwood by clippings.

I think they were asking what growing zone you are in.

Go to your nearest farm centre and talk to them. They usually sell supplies, pet food, animal feed etc. my local centre will rent equipment and can let you know who might be able to till up an area. Your municipality might offer soil testing kits or the farm centre.

Talk with your neighbours and find out what grew there before. Are any of them farming? Don’t be afraid to go talk with them.

If it’s just you doing the work and you own the land - your first year is going to be a lot of set up for growing next year. As the one person said, you need to know your water situation, you need to map out where your sun hits and if there’s any shade throughout the year, see what weeds are growing, get your soil tested, figure out if you have any animal problems (voles, moles, rats, mice, gophers, rabbits and deer?).

Are you planning on buying a tractor? Do you have any equipment or tools?

What vegetables are you planning on growing? Have you plotted it out? What kind of experience do you have?

You can still grow a lot this year but 2 acres is a lot for one person. I have a few plots now- 4 high raised beds, 4 low raised beds, 1 x 20x20’, 1 20x40’ and 2 new beds coming in. I hire some people to help plant but I can barely keep up. (I grow flowers in the 2 big beds and sell them). You can get a lot in smaller, intensive plots this year.

I know it’s a lot of questions, but about 6 years ago we moved to our farm.

Look fantastic! Congratulations on hanging them. I quite like the colours and the design. Good job!

Wow, I had not heard of this at all. Please keep sharing.

Gods, that is terrible

Ooo I thought it was the What’s This Painting sub! I always love reading expert comments.

Holy smokes this is amazing. Do you have any progress photos you can share? How long did it take?

The eyes are just incredible!

Great job! I recognize that look.

I’m glad you posted the outline because it helps. I need to do this because I’m trying to do a cat drawing for a friend

He was such a beautiful cat! I adore his whiskers.

Oooh didn’t you post this painting recently somewhere?

Ooh should I be starting my sweet peas now? I have never grown them before. I was sick for 2 weeks and then my mom was ill… I’m so far behind. I’m in 6a. Probably won’t get stuff in the ground until May 24+.

I really like it. Nice flow and movement. Just pen?

Oh good job. I recognized it was a Frenchie immediately because my friend posts photos of her dog. It feels like they are all head. Really cute!

I love the story! Great coin. I would love to have one!

MS Paint? I am blown away. I save some inspirational posts and I am saving this one. Honestly for a moment I thought it was an oil painting.

Really amazing job.

Good bot!

This actually makes me happy.

Really? Oh thank goodness. I was hoping I was not overstepping. I remember looking at your earlier post on this piece and being really impressed. Your work is great and I can’t wait to see the finished piece.

Are you going to use a light table or something to draw out the final piece?

Wow! Great reuse of material! Great timing for spring planting too!

Soooo good!

I really really love how this piece is developing!

I don’t know much about colour theory but I hope you don’t mind if I suggest a few things. Drop it into a photo editor and play with a few different tones like a Vivid warm. Pump up the contrast and vivid. Play with it until you find something that works better for you.

There’s also not a lot of contrast in the values. When you put this in a photo editor put it in grayscale and then it is more evident. The little dog is almost vanishing and is about the same tone/value as the donkey. The fox's armour is too close to the various values of the sky in both value and hue. Stuff in the foreground tends to be brighter and more vivid. The fox will stand out more against a lighter background

Here’s how it looks in B&W… but you can see what it looks like with different filters.

Beautiful work! It doesn’t look like rage to me. It is very intense.

Thanks for the update! She is very lucky she’s found you! Despite her big belly she looks so skinny—- even her toes look thin!

Wow, that explains a lot. She is about the age for her family to flee that war - and go to Sweden! Some of the food is quite Indian, some "Americanized Chinese" and some is more Hakka.
