Sad day

The garlic popped their little heads up today.  They were planted last fall about 6 inches apart and covered with lots of mulch.  During the winter they put out roots so they are strong in the spring. Garlic is tasty in so many types of dishes and also roasted.  They will grow about 3 feet…

We have a sticky fly trap in the kitchen, but today I found a mouse stuck to it.  Outside I poured vegetable oil on him where he was stuck and he came right off.  Not happy, but alive.   Gotta buy a new flytrap.

Yes, that is how high the animal corn has gotten.  I am under the hat at 5 foot 4 and the corn is at least 6 feet tall.  Wow.  It is only June.

Turnips have sprouted!  Probably a 90% germination rate.  It hurts my soul to have to thin them, but they grow larger with more space around them.

My rhubarb is up and ready to sell at the stand at 1041 Ivanhoe Rd, Max Meadows, Virginia, or send to your location.  Call me (Joanne) at 276-595-1172 to see what’s available for you. We’ve been eating it for the past week!  Rhubarb is technically a vegetable, but historically has been eaten as a fruit. …

Time to plant the second crop of carrots.  By staggering the planting dates, There will be fresh carrots all summer long, and into the winter with mulch protection.
