I love summer, seeing all the crops and flowers growing. Took a walk over to my tomatoes, the plants look great since I put the Epsom’s salt and miracle grown on them! Lots of tomatoes.
The blueberry bushes are coming along nicely – lots of berries there.
When I was working over by the tomatoes a week ago [...]
Actually it’s my husband’s garden, but I was tasked to sprinkle Epsom’s salt and miracle grow at the roots of my tomato plants. At least I’m seeing the fruit of my husband’s labor – there are tomatoes on several of the plants!!
We have about 100 tomato plants, and it looked like a daunting task and it [...]
I belong to a cool group – Etsybloggers Street Team. One of the things we do, is to blog about something that interests us. This week’s blog subject is ‘Tell about your gardening plans for the upcoming growing season.’
I’m going to go out on a ‘limb’ here, and talk about my husbands gardening aspirations. Me – [...]
Back in 2006, when I had cancer, I lost my hair. This is an occurrence that happens to many women, and men too.
I’m not the type of person to wear a wig. So I decided to find something else to wear that would look attractive, be easy to use, and keep my head warm. I found [...]
We have a farm and run a produce stand. After much thought, DH has had a sun shade put on his tractor. We couldn’t afford a tractor with a cab and air conditioning, so this was the next best thing.
While it’s overcast today, you don’t get the full effect, but I’m sure you get the idea. [...]
For over a couple of years now, I’ve bought different kinds of dish towels – none of them have been very absorbent. Oh, I don’t use them to dry dishes – the dishes can stay in the dish rack until I’m ready to put them away!
No, my dish towels are what my DH dries his hands [...]
We are in the midst of taking down the tents that we use for our produce stand. Actually there are 2 tens, 1 a 10×10 and 1 a 10×15.
The last few years, we have used the 10×10 – that I had bought when I was doing craft shows. It worked well, but the problem that we [...]
If you have been reading my posts, you know that we have a farm and raise vegetables and melons to sell at our produce stand.
Every day, I go to gather the eggs, and I’ve been watching a volunteer watermelon plant growing.
We grow watermelon, and my DH loves to eat watermelon – and well, now you know [...]
The other day, I went to gather the eggs and found this:
I tried to get close to take a good picture, and the dang spider started crawling all over – I backed up quickly!
This spider is called Black and Yellow Garden Spider, Writing Spider, Banana Spider or Corn Spider.
The web of the yellow garden spider is [...]
You know, we have a produce stand. Right now we are selling sweet corn, and watermelon – we’ve had lots of different vegis during the summer, but it’s kind of winding down for right now.
Anyway, I had a customer call this morning to pick up 100 ears of sweet corn. Many of our customers do that, [...]
