This is our farm life. Some days it is simple and relaxing, other days...Well, read my blog and see for your self!
Everything from organic gardening to making old fashioned milk soap takes place here. Join us for a day, sit awhile and talk and enjoy an ice cold glass of ice tea. Welcome to our world!
Our cabbage is now starting to make cute little heads and the oninons are beginning to show some growth. The very cold snap we were having made them just sit still.
This winter has been a hard one for sure. With 8 days of below freezing temperatures, 3 nights at 11*F, we did all we could to protect our citrus trees. This is a picture of a Japaneese plum tree that we "HOPE" we were able to save by making it warmer wrapped in ice.
Wow! Look at the snow! No, its not here, but feels like it should be. This was about a week ago in Richmond, VA. We were visiting our daughter Patricia and son in law Chris before Christmas.
Richamond didnt expect this much snow and the town couldnt handle it, so they were literally closed!!!
I experimented this year for our Christmas Ham. I wanted to do it on the big grill, so I turned it into a smoker and it turned out wonderful. It came out so good, I turned around and made a smoked turkey. I used a small bit of oak wood, but mostly pecan.
