Razzle Dazzle Family Farm

It's been awhile since we have done a blog post and that's due to the server not uploading photos correctly.  We are working on that problem and hope to have it resolved soon.

In the meantime, remember the Razzle Dazzle Farm Rule:

1) No weeds allowed in our beautiful garden; unsolicited opinions are not welcomed.

Summer 2017 has been extremely humid.

I am listening, hoping to hear the sounds of acorns thumping to the ground soon.

The acorns dropping are an indication that the humidity and season will soon change.

Money does grow on trees...and on bushes and vines and groundcovers, too.

With edible landscaping, saving money never looked and tasted so good!

It's time to plant your seeds/transplant!

Extremely fragrant hand soap made specifically for dirty hands.

Adorned with poppy seeds, orange peel and Zinnia flowers for exfoliation.  

You can even plant this soap!

3 parts cilantro

5 parts basil

5 parts passion flower leaves

2 parts rosemary

1 part tarragon

1 part dill

1 part mint

1 part spearmint

It's 2017!

I will update the blog more this year.  At least that is the plan.

As far as farm goals this year, I hope to plant more flowers, veggies and add a medicinal herb garden.

Last week I planted more garlic, peas, turnip greens, arugula, cilantro, parsley and dill.  I also cut back the blackberry vines that were ridiculous! Note to self *reserve more chickens from mypetchicken.com

Toodles for now, and Happy New Year

Long associated with the sun and its life-giving warmth, yellow is the age-old spokes-color for warm feelings of friendship and optimism.

There is something very special about home grown food.

It tastes better and is healthier.

Bulbs don't need much light; they don't need good soil; and they don't need cosseting.

My mother in Michigan sent me Iris bulbs in fall of 2014.
The photo above is actually from March 23, 2015.
The iris bloomed completely this year on March 27, 2016.
