The Spring growing season 2012

June is a month we are at the end of the spring season.

Technically, spring ends on June 21 according to the 

calender.

This spring we put in cabbages, mesclun mix

radishes, cauliflower, and broccoli

I like to plant in different seasons.  Which makes it much
easier to manage all the different plants you want to grow.
This is the spring garden.
Of course there are a few other plants that you will see in the garden.

Flowers are always add an eye appeal to the spring garden.
I like to mix my flowers around the vegetable plants.
This helps combat some bug issues as well as bringing
the bees to the garden.

The Iris has to be one of my favorite spring flowers.
They bloom when everything is just starting to
sprout.

We grow many different colors here on our farm.

Snapdragons are what is blooming right now.

Lavender is also blooming right now, which is
technically a herb.

Enjoy the rest of your spring garden delights.

This is the latest on organic products. 
As I am dedicated to spreading the news on organics foods. 
We must be educated in order to make good buying decisions.

Do you know if your food has been genetically modified?

Carting Water

We got a late start this year.  Yes, its September and I am getting a fair amount of tomatoes.

This year I learned what its like to grow food as a pioneer would have.
Waiting for the rain, but the most we have gotten is a quarter of an inch.
There is no water on the farm except for 2 ponds and the dry creeks.  So, what do you do when it doesn't rain.
You cart water.
So, for the past three days I have filled the two water barrels I have, which hold 60 gallons each.

I will continue to pray for rain.

Our Home

The building of our house is coming along. 

The basement is in and they have begun

framing the house. 

Yesterday, before we left the crew I 

decided to take them some homemade

peach ice cream for a treat.

On a hot day something cold to eat is always

nice.

After, our wet spring the summer has been dry.

Which is making it nice for building a home.
The one thing I have noticed the weather in the
summer is hot and dry here in Kentucky.

This is what you see when you
drive away from the house.

The view is just lovely.

 Mesculan Mix

Who would like to have salad.

To me its salad season.

I do not have space cultivated at the

farm.  For a couple of reasons, it seems

we are having  lots of rain.  Everyday it

seems were getting a thunderstorm.

My dear husband went and got these crates

for me that he found on craigs list.

Not bad for two dollars each.

The house we are renting has a nice deck area.

So, I decided to grow lettuce seeds in the crate.

I start by putting paper in the bottom of the crate.

Then I add the soil, which is basically 

dehydrated cow manure, peat moss, 

and bone meal.

Sprinkle the seeds and sprinkle some soil.

Then you know what happened next, it rained.

Do You Need Inspiration To Grow Your Own Food

Monday May 16, 2011

Here is how you  can find inspiration to grow

your own food?

I watched this video when 

I lived in New Jersey on a small plot of land.

That was when I decided to change my life.

So, I began thinking outside of the box.

I started out small and the garden grew over 

the years.  By the time we moved I was gardening 

on a plot of 2379 square feet.

That may seem like a lot but if we ate as many 

fruits and vegetables that they recommend for 

out diet its not.

Yes, I would like to grow what I eat.
