Blackberries are ripe early this year! When we were kids, we would pick a whole ice cream bucket full of black raspberries and dewberries growing wild in the woods, sprinkle them with sugar, and gorge on them while playing Atari. Nowadays, I prefer these beauties picked right here in my yard in a Blackberry Bourbon Mash or cobbler.

Most of my posts are about bees or edible plants in our yard, but we still have room for beauty on our quarter acre: lilies, daffodils, bleeding hearts, roses, irises, azaleas, phlox, dahlias, sunflowers, goldenrod, hydrangeas, and Peonies!

I love it when family can get in on the act! We were called to capture bee swarms two days in a row at my niece's school. My sister suited up to assist and my niece's class observed at a safe distance while I provided some educational narration on bees. The first swarm in a tree was quickly captured prior to dismissal. The second one on the picnic table happened after hours and I was able to take my time, capture the queen and watch the bees march in to join her. Thank you school administrators for calling a beekeeper to save the bees!

A clothes line....every farm needs one! Of course on 1/4 Acre Farms ours has to be scaled down. I picked up this antique beauty Cordomatic so I can reel it in when I want to use the same space for a hammock. It's at least enough to bring back memories of hanging clothes out on the big farm.

BEE SWARMS - Now that spring is here, just a friendly reminder...this is what a bee swarm looks like. This is how a bee colony propagates. Please don't approach, spray, or harass them - parts of our food chain depend on bees. If you want them removed call a beekeeper - send us a PM and we will come get them at no charge and give them a new home.

Hello ladies 🐝 on this warm December day. You've made it through the cold so far but winter's still not officially here. You're still preparing, even finding pollen.

Slicing fresh yard picked Early Girl tomatoes in November.  I think they need a new name.
