I feel like I do these posts about once a week. I can't believe a whole month goes by in between them. Anyway, I finally have some pictures of things coming up out in the garden. So exciting! Here … Read More...
I can't believe it's almost April. It definitely doesn't feel like Spring around here. We had some really nice weather a week or so ago and then it's been freezing and snowing ever since. I'm hoping … Read More...
Our winter has been pretty mild so far. I think we've only had around 3-4 inches of snow total. Two of those inches came in the past 24 hours along with some ice, sleet and freezing rain. Here is the … Read More...
The winter has been mild so far with no snow to speak of, but I'm still hoping for a few hard freezes to kill off some of the bug population. We got an old tiller going (with a new motor!) and so … Read More...
Our garden is officially done for the year (aside from tilling). We dug our sweet potatoes and sadly they were few and small. They did MUCH better last year. I think we planted them a little too late … Read More...
We've finally gotten a few rains over the past couple of weeks which has done our garden (and our grass) some good! You just can't water your garden enough to compare to a good rain. Here's what I … Read More...

Since our corn didn't do very well this year, we bought a few dozen from a produce stand. We shucked 'em, blanched em' and froze 'em! We also got some peaches and froze them in 2 cup … Read More...
I bought okra plants on a whim this year. Once I got them home, I realized I was completely clueless about how they grew. Fast forward to harvest time and here I am again, clueless. My husband and I … Read More...
I haven't posted many garden updates this year, mainly because Walker keeps me so busy, but also because it doesn't really look too pretty. The weeds are out of control in this bed, actually … Read More...
I picked two cherry tomatoes and two jalapenos! Actually, I picked a couple jalapenos yesterday and put them on my pizza, but I didn't get a picture. Anyway, I'm so excited to start getting produce … Read More...
We went to a u pick farm today and picked 6 quarts of strawberries. Actually, my husband picked them in the rain while I kept Walker undercover and talked to the lady who was working. I'm sure … Read More...
