Gladiola

This year I added gladiola's to 

my flowers that we sell at the 

Springfield farmers market.

These are a bulb you put in the 

ground and they are stunning.

Farmers Market

We had our first farmers market this past week.

We had a table of fresh flowers and herbs.

Small and large bundles of flowers will
be ready to take home for you to enjoy.

Fresh cut herbs always brings smiles.

  Mint comes in so many types, such as 

spearmint, chocolate, pineapple, anise hyssop. 

Come out to see what your local farm
is producing.

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.
