Farm Friday - In The Garden

Typical. I try to start a regular, weekly thing - posting pics from the week on the farm, on my Friday blogs. And I have already failed! Well, kinda. I think the past two Friday's were Orchard updates, but I failed to make them "Farm Friday" posts!

Anyways, who needs routine anyways ;) Not me!

I feel like I have been inundating you with nothing but photos from the garden (and orchard), but, it's that time of year!

A homemade trellis waiting for KY Wonder [pole] beans to grow up it! We've planted a lot of beans this year, that is for sure.


*Sigh* Typical. Hanging in the garden when she isn't 'on the prowl'. What a life! As long as she doesn't stomp on the plants, I'll let her.

How is your garden growing?

What are you most excited to harvest from it this year?

Farm Friday - Manure

For a Friday, here are some images from the farm. This week's theme....MANURE :)


Seriously. Didn't you know shoveling manure out of the stalls if one of the most stress relieving, peaceful things to do after a long a$$ day! I am not joking. Throw in a glass of wine and holla - PEACE at its finest!

And, for the ever resourceful -- a summer muck boot! Here's the thing. Muck Boots rock. I can wear them w/o socks in the winter and my feet stay warm. But, in the summer, when it is 90* out, it gets a tad warm. So to help keep cool, I simply roll down the boot ;) Kinda like a built in air conditioner. Because, when I would just wear flip flops to clean the stalls (no shame here), my husband said that was gross. *Sigh -- pu-lease!* But, secretly, sometimes I still do just wear flip flops! C'mon, it is so dang hot!




*Disclaimer -- Photos have been altered to not blind you in showing the true color of my ghostly white skin ;)
