New this weekend at Greenwood Indiana Farmers Market we will have Okra and Honeynut Squash as well as our other produce, spices and herbs! Here's a video in regards to Okra and it's toxic look alike.

I bought this tiny Myer Lemon tree really not expecting it to do much but here we are! So many blooms that I had to remove more than half. The tree literally couldn't support the weight if they all reached maturity.
Right now there are 17!!! 🤦🤦🤦
This is super fun to watch grow. Perfect indoor or outdoor project and hopefully some delicious lemons.
***HOWEVER it takes patience. Lemons can take up to 9 months to mature. Sound familiar?

Cilantro and potatoes for the win! #gardening #potatoes #companionplanting
Big ol bumblebees all around the farm right now! What remedies did you try growing up for bee stings? We did bacon fat applied to the sting. Probably not the most sanitary thing to do but we survived 😅.
Sharing is caring, especially with this recipe!
It's that time of year when bugs look at you like you are snack waiting to be bitten into. I have something for that! Stop putting poisonous chemicals on your skin 🤦🚫🛑. Instead try Marigold and essential oils to repel bugs- your skin will thank you!
Check out the video for more info. A picture of the recipe I created will be in the comments. It does take some planning because you have to make Marigold oil HOWEVER you have the entire summer to start drying and saving the flowers to process the oil or you may be able to find some online. I only saved enough for this season but I plan to process and make oil to sell this fall 😘
***PLEASE use caution if you have skin sensitivity or other medical conditions ie pregnancy/nursing. I'm in no way trained to advise what you should or shouldn't use but I can say that I have sensitive skin and this works wonderfully for me. (I stopped using majority of lotion and perfumes because it agitates my skin).

I had the world's best helper this morning 😍
She told me several times how much hard work gardening was but also how much she loved it. I think all us gardeners pretty much feel the same 💚

I was so focused on keeping the squash varties straight I forgot to mention that this honeynut squash was developed in the 1980s at Cornell University but it was not made available to the public unti 2015.
*Please excuse our bickering chickens. We hatched some eggs this spring and as the universe would have it we ended up with 6 (possibly more) roosters. I am having a hard time deciding which one to keep because 3 of them are gorgeous!
