Garlic Harvest

Garlic Harvest
Wednesday July 1, 2010



The garlic harvest was plentiful this year.
I will be tying the garlic next. The best
thing about growing your own garlic is
not having to go to the store and buy it.

I love growing my own food.
I have always like how when you
need something for dinner you
go see what you got stored.
Storing food is not hard, it
just takes a little planning.
You must always need to be
thinking about the next growing
season.

What's Blooming

What's Blooming

The orange and yellow mixed in this flower
gives it a nice sunny look. I planted them
last summer and here they are when
there's not a lot of time.

This is the stately Wine Red Hollyhock,
that's what Rachel calls it. This plant
has climbed to 6 ft tall.

The raspberry's are coming. Slow and steady
that is . I had to revamp the whole bed
early this spring. Luckily I had some good
chicken manure.

This is one of my favorite flowers,
Zebrina.
You get thousands of seeds from
these little flowers. The flowers are
small but the plant is quite tall.
You will get many flowers on their
tall stalks. These were my
volunteers this year.

The Black Eyed Susan's.
Which it seems I have
everywhere.

Once you have them, they
are here for good.

Happy Blooming Days!

Bringing in the Wheat Harvest

Bringing in the Wheat Harvest
Wednesday June 23, 2010

Most people assume growing wheat
is left to a large farm operation.

It is really about changing the way
we think about growing food.

If you think of farming on
a small scale we would start growing
plants they grow in the field.

Growing wheat has been a great experience.
I started out with a seed and went to a plant.
Then I waited and watched.
It has been 9 months since planting time.
Last week we started cutting down the wheat.
You may laugh, but here it goes. I did not have
a tool to cut with so what did I use.
Scissors.
I usually carry a pair of scissors in the
garden as you never know when your going
to need them.
I then wrapped them with twine and left them
in bundles.
Now they are drying.

Till next time we will be threshing.

We went on a road trip. Rachel got to spend
some time with her cousin in Kentucky. We
got to spend some with the family, it was a
great trip.
God has led us to an open door.
We are going to be property owners
in Springfield, Kentucky.
God is good! His timing is perfect!
