A happy soul in the outdoors!
So…walking in the woods yesterday, I found this hole in a tree with all these twigs,leaves, and branches in front of it. I was quite fascinated by this hole and wondered what might live here. In my magical imagination I picture cute little fairy’s of the woods living in the little tree and what a wonderful home they must have….but seriously, what do you think??????
We had a lot of cherry tomatoes this year! I am not a fan of tomatoes, unless they are with stuff. I wouldn’t be caught dead eating a raw tomato. So we thought that we would juice the cherry’s up this year. We made some tomato juice and a chili base. We then dehydrated the cherry tomato skins and chopped them up into a fine powder.
1st year growing Dragon Carrots! I was surprised how well they grew. They have a Red-purple skin and Yellow-orange interior. Very sweet, but said to have a hint of spice,which I haven’t noticed that yet!
1st corn on the cob of the year! Also the tallest corn we have ever had. A few weeks ago we were wondering why the corn was so tall but didn’t have any cobs. We figured the crop was a flop, because lets face it I am not a Master Gardener by any means! Well, Farmer Ronnie explained the corn growing process and said once the corn tassels the cobs will come and will start growing and growing fast….well low and behold that is exactly what happened! I got corn everybody. I have 2 different gardens with 1 block of corn in each garden and I got corn lots of corn and it is mighty tasty. Oh and I used heirloom seeds!
Spring 2020.
Started my very own Dill and Asparagus garden this year. I have always planted dill in a container over the summer. We have a small patch of asparagus growing in my flower garden behind the house.
So this year I decided to start 2 little patches in the back yard nest to a small garden I got back there.
I will have to research how to keep the weeds at bay some next year.
I am hoping the asparagus holds through the winter and grows next year. I am excited about getting a great crop in a few years.
A big ol’ batch of dehydrated cilantro ready to go! I will grind this up and store in an air tight container which will stay good until next year, if it last that long!
Dehydrating jalapenos peppers and fresh chives from the garden today!
I love Great Blue Herons! Can you find the 3rd Heron in the 1st picture? Date and time are way off. SE Wisconsin!
