GARDEN TOUR Spring Harvest in progress with not a whole lot of spare time on our hands. If we are not in the garden, we’ve got many other brands in the fire to keep us busy. So not much blogging is happening around here even though I have around 5 postings Continue reading A Tour of the Gardens and our Instant Barnyard:… Today has been one gorgeous day. Not a cloud in the sky as seen in the above photo. It got into the low 80′s. I ended up outside because it was just to nice to stay completely inside laying low as I mend a pulled / strained inflamed back muscle, which is showing Continue reading Sunshine, Wind, Laundry and Deer!!… This past Thursday March 18th we woke up to a gorgeous sunny day. I set out to get a few things inside done first before heading outside. Continue reading Balmy Gardening Weather turns into Spring Snowstorm!… It’s looking like a possible last one – two punch of winter here this weekend after such a beautiful warm up and the earliest garden planting we’ve ever had. Lots of rain followed the planting of the onions and peas. Peas are showing signs of germination and ready to poke their little heads Continue reading Gardening Forecast & Nutrimill – Update:… After one of the worst winters we’ve seen, this past Friday March the 5th is the earliest we have ever done any gardening. If this warm weather continues come St. Patty’s we will be planting seed potatoes; dubbed the traditional potato planting day for our area for years. Continue reading Spring Planting – First 2 days:… It’s planting time and those itty bitty carrot seeds that are grayish and are not all that much fun to plant can be planted easier now with the Carrot Seed Planter my hubby designed and made for us last summer. Planting the seeds evenly at 1 1/2 inch intervals. He drew Continue reading Carrot Seeder – Drawing & Instructions:… This past Friday March 5th we started our 2010 organic garden. This afternoon I went out to tend to the onions we had put in. My husband is out in the shop doing some minor tinkering on the roto tiller, then heading out to the garden shortly to start going over more ground Continue reading Garden Arsenal……!! 2010 Garden Season:… I’m looking forward to this movie coming out on DVD just as Food, Inc. did. Are you? Here’s the trailer for FRESH and link to their site (see below). Check out to see if it’ showing anywhere in your area. Like FOOD, INC. its not hitting the major movie theaters. I saw Continue reading FRESH – grassroots movement:… OUR very first experience My husband dug a small bucket to see what they looked like this afternoon. Sharing with you what’s baking in the oven as I write. TWO freshly dug “Organic Sweet Taters” from our garden. Continue reading Sweet Potato Harvest!!… Fall like temps have settled in for a while. It’s been gorgeous and nice to enjoy the beautiful weather the Lord has given. With this we’ve begun a lot of Fall yard work in between rains. Keeping up with the grass has been a challenge with the rains. I almost feel like we Continue reading Preparing for additional Gardens:… We are back home after a weeks vacation. After a lot of garden work and preserving produce right up to leaving, we are back in the garden in full force. I picked a wheel barrel full of tomatoes / green peppers / colander full of sweet 100 & yellow pear cherry tomatoes and 3 small Continue reading Back home….and still in the garden!… This is our garden earlier this summer bursting forth Ahh, to have those days back of very few weeds. July was not it’s normal HOT. It was warm and rainy. Rains that were Continue reading Meet you at the End of the Garden Path!… This is not our corn patch nor racoon in our neck of the woods. PLANS were to pick corn Thursday morning……..but We discovered this early evening upon checking out how much of the last 4 rows of sweet corn was ready for picking that we had a night time raider Continue reading Night Time Raid!… I can say one thing for sure, life isn’t dull around here since I decided we needed to get back into full time gardening. I think I am in a state of “TIRED” all the time. If I’m not roto tilling, pulling weeds, spraying the garden with my hot pepper mixture Continue reading Garden Harvesting has begun!… The weather last evening took a sudden drastic change from a day working out in the garden and mowing for around 4 hours or more in the sunshine. It was a hot day yet bearable in the humidity since we are without air conditioning for now and find ourselve’s handling the heat rather Continue reading Summer Storms………..… The past couple of days we’ve been getting up at 5 a.m. to work in the garden as much as we can before the heat hits. It’s actually already hot that early but nothing compared to what hits later. This morning we got up early but not quite that early. We didn’t bother to set Continue reading Early mornings in the HEAT……..… Okay, I pulled up this picture again. Same deer, the not so smart deer from previous posts. Zoomed in even more on this picture to bring her Front and Center – her mug shot for this posting!! We have electric fence running around the whole garden and it’s been doing a very Continue reading Electric Fencing and Sprinklers!… SUMMER has finally arrived in all it’s glory bringing with it Intense Heat and Humidity . I’m in for a short break cooling off. Heading back out to the garden shortly. We can finally walk in it after all the multiple dumpings of heavy rains. Rain’s been great for vegetable growth, but also the WEEDS Continue reading Were having a heat wave……….… Strong storms just started rolling through our area. So much for plans to get into the garden to work on pulling the weeds that are going to town in the growth department. with all the rain / humidity we’ve been getting. So I’ll be tending strictly to indoor work. Good day to Continue reading Staying indoors……… |
