Waking up!

My garden is starting to look like Spring again!

with Fragrant blue Hyacinths....

Blue Squill.....

Salome' Daffodils ......

and with this golden barberry with its tiny

chartreuce leaves. This plant looks amazing

in the fall if you place it in an area that gets

only 4 hours of sun. It turns apricot with a little red.

Very pretty!

Organic Gardening Seminar

I've been practicing organic gardening most of my life

as my father had taught me everything he knows as well as

my own trial and error, college, and from other well seasoned gardeners.

I want to teach the class to beginners who have always wanted to have a garden

but never had the time. With times being tough we need to find the time to grow our own.

Some don't have the know-how to get started. We are here for you!

March 29th at 10:00 am (weather permitting)

Hands on showing how we do it here. Hope you can come!

Wear your sh*!# kickers it gets muddy around here!

Young Man helping out

This is our adopted cat 'Young Man' he was an all indoors cat where he lived before but the outdoors have been calling him here on our farm. He is loving this spring weather and decided to help do some leaf clean up with me. He got a little high on catnip earlier so I couldn't get a good shot of him! What a good boy!
