Cat is Lion at Home

ROAR! Bubba loves his Hattie's Garden Grass



Yes, we did get the plastic back on the hoophouse. Thanks to a couple Freemans, and a calm warm day this fall. We planted it up & I'd have to 'check our records' to tell you when we planted, but I tell you it grew so fast & furious, the produce is a little ahead of schedule. Well a lil bit maybe who knows. But I do know it has been a gracious fall as far as temps go. And since it all grew & is near done I think we are going to try some replanting. crazy tawk!


Who you ask is that person in the background? Well, I know its my signature color, but its not me, I'm not that graceful. Its DEB! and next time I will ask her permission and actually put a pic of her face in the blog if she lets me....She is our SUPER VOLUNTEER!

And this is the AMAZING VEG of the week. so sweet & tender. Kinda seems like a cross between Pak/Bok Choi and Broc Raab. You will not be disappointed if you got in under the wire to order this lil guy. Well, what was left after the harvest snacking.....



MERRY HOLIDAY TO YA'LL. HAPPY SOLSTICE....

the secret life

I know you imagine the baskets of fresh produce & us skipping through the rows, plucking a leaf here & there as the birds chirp.... (Queue Edelweiss)

Sometimes it's not very glamorous or romantic, this farming thing.... But it is an honorable way of living. ain it? Today I was weeding the spinach and realize how simple a thing that sounds like and yet, how important it is too. Such a simple task. But it can take all day. Spinach is a testy veg to harvest. Leaf by leaf. tedious some say. Much easier when it's weed-free. So we must. we must. Just try to find the zen.

You can see my fancy new 'tool' there in the foreground, The tines of the rake are adjustable to fit the width of the path between the rows. genius I tell ya! I like me tools I does.

Cheers!
