Yesterday we rolled up our sleeves and dug a few holes. We ended up harvesting 50 # of potatoes! What do you do with 50 # of potatoes? Well we froze some and we canned 7 quarts. We also did 6 pints of green beans today since the pressure canner was out. Still have a bunch to process for next weekend.

Fresh green beans $2 a quart (roughly 12-14 oz per quart) or $8 a gallon. We are around all weekend and would love our fridge back.

Our garden watch cat, Mr Milo. He has been a good mouser to have this year. He’s brought us at least 1 mouse and kept the chipmunks and squirrels at bay. In this picture he had a squirrel cornered in the tree.

Garden update. Still no tomatoes or peppers but they’re getting there. Plenty of beans though. Good number of squash waiting. Cucumbers and zucchini looking good too

The garden she grows. Some stuff has been far slower this year than in the past but the rain this year helps a lot of stuff go. While checking the potato crop I knocked a few loose so time for some young potatoes.

Canning season is in full swing. Today we are making raspberry balsamic vinaigrette and apple cinnamon rhubarb jam.

Well hello Tomato Peach Jelly! Second batch of this flavor this week. Coworkers loved it and so do the boys.

Second picking of strawberries

05/20/2024

I spy our first raspberry! Last year they took a hard hit, lost one over winter, but at least one of the two is pulling some fruit. Always a learning experience 🩵

Front garden beds for flowers are finally done. Time to fill them and get planting. Flowers are to be chamomile, bread seed poppy, lavender, lemonade cosmo, three type of sunflowers, white yarrow, vibrant color stocks, pink poppy, milkweed, lilies, tulips, basil, oregano, dwarf tomatoes and five color peppers. Maybe cilantro and dill.

Working on more planter boxes. While grateful for the rain it is pushing us behind schedule. Also we have butternut popping through the mulch.

04/28/2024

It was a nice rainy day to plant some flowers and clean up the beds some more.

04/25/2024

We have been busy busy around the farm. From getting the crop in, to building more beds, to everything in between. We got our maple tree planted today, thanks to Kelly Tree Farm in Clarence, and we have potato sprouts and so much more popping up between the layer of mulch. Rains come in tomorrow which will slow us down a little but we love the race.

There’s still a few things left but they can take the hard freeze coming. I think I planted too many tomatoes …

The harvests are slowing down some but life still grows

10/12/2023

Happy National Farmers Day!

Some late pictures of the garden. Things are still growing. Normally the weather should have ended the tomatoes and peppers, but Mother Nature has other ideas

This is yesterday and today’s harvest. Not even close to being done.

09/28/2023

There comes a time when I am ready to throw in the towel. It’s now! We are just so busy with other things that it is hard to keep going. The 2023 harvest in pounds are as follow: 54 # of root vegetables, 31 # of peppers, 232 # of tomatoes, 17 # of greens, 26 # of fruit, 11 # of beans, and 7 # of squash. We are know where near the finish line. Can someone remind me again of the first frost?
