First off, I have to apologize that I havent blogged in awhile. The combination of starting my new job (part-time) as a special education teacher and going to graduate school at night (full-time) has taken its toll on life in general. But if it wasnt for my connection to the garden, I would...

In Ramona (still in SD county) , here is what happened: Oh, what a night! Wait, wasn't that a song? Seriously, Ramona seems to have pulled through the night well. There are all kinds of interesting stories, as you can imagine, from how toddler Liam Houck was able to get out of town so he could...

Yep! LOL! This is my world right now too.......

Champion. It was the only one of that variety I planted. The rest are a mix of early girl, better boy and mortgage lifter.

I wish I knew for sure. Some of these tomatoes went in in Brrrr....February! They endured an extremely rare snow storm, survived and lived to thrive. Many of the plants just sat there and sulked a bit, waiting for the proper weather conditions. I do think the (half-composted) horse manure I...

Yes and yes Steve....... And you are correct, Sven does all of the behind scenes work here on the farm....
