This year we planted popcorn. It is something I had always wanted to do, but never remembered to order the seeds in time. Well this year I was ahead of the game and ordered my popcorn seeds here while ordering some of my other seeds. We planted the popcorn seeds in the same rows as our Indian and sweet corn….

pumpkins, gourds, frost…oh my!
We knew it would be happening soon, the first hard frost of the year. I spent most of the day yesterday picking the gardens clean. Which you can see have been severely neglected and was still full of fresh goodies. Along with lots of pumpkins, gourds and squashes. Normally picking the pumpkins is a family affair…not this year. This year… Keep Reading
Its that time of the year.
Its that time of the year when the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler. In a few short weeks we will be getting our first frost. And in a few short days fall will be arriving. Its my favorite time of the year. The sunflowers are in full bloom and are towering over the cornstalks. The… Keep Reading
"mo pees peesz?"
I love capturing the simple moments in life. The ones where you can watch their sweet little movements and expressions. Watching the kiddo’s eat straight from the garden for the first time is always the funnest thing to do. They are so curious and unsure. But it doesn’t take them long before they know exactly how to get to the… Keep Reading
Baked Jalapeno Poppers {and a giveaway winner}
Each year we grow jalapenos for making salsa. Unfortunately sometimes the timing of when the jalapenos and the tomatoes are ripe don’t exactly line up. I didn’t have enough jalapenos to fill a jar and be pickled, so I decided to give jalapeno poppers a try. I have to be honest, I have never had them before and what a… Keep Reading

embrace the camera {garden days again}
I had always hoped the kiddo’s would love being in the garden as much as I do. But I’m thinking they love being in it a little more then I do. Just last night the two oldest were making dirt angels in the garden. Yup, I’m pretty sure you wont see this momma sprawled on her back in the garden,… Keep Reading
embace the camera {Memorial Day weekend 2011}
Memorial Day weekend always marks the beginning of gardening season for us. Every year grampa comes down to till our gardens. This year the girls were so cute watching him drive around on his tractor. They sure love their grampa and not just because he always brings them candy. We spent just a little under $200 on seeds and plants… Keep Reading
Rhubarb {harvesting, baking and freezing}
The rhubarb patch is overflowing, which means it’s time to start filling the freezer with homemade rhubarb goodies again. For the past few years I have been making all of my breads, pies and goodies while we harvest them from the garden instead of freezing the cut veggies or fruits with great intentions of baking them later. I never did… Keep Reading
