I think I know the inspiration for this French sweet bread which actually originated in England so the legend goes…the inspiration for this wonderfully sweet, light and really pretty bread. They could have also named it Dawn til Dusk bread; not for the vampires but due to the 5+ hours it took to make it. [Read the full story ...]

Praying our cabbage will be ready in about 4 weeks give or take. We had a cold spell followed by a warm few days which gave them a boost. Same scenario coming this week so perhaps they will again jump up. They sure look delicious though! Greg and I tried our first jars of sauerkraut [Read the full story ...]

They came today! Well, yesterday but we don’t check our mail everyday. These should be ready in two years. We have always wanted to grow asparagus but didn’t have the $$ to invest in roots already set. These seeds were only $4.95 from Burpee :) . Inexpensive is not always better -ha!- so we shall see!

Today, we planted tomatoes. Yes. It happens to be December 1st but we had absolutely no choice in the matter.

We returned today from a wonderful family reunion celebration in Macon, Georgia at my father’s farm. He has a dozen wonderful laying hens – about ten eggs per day – of which he is giving us half the hens next week.

These roses are just spectacular. Two rose bushes exhisted when we moved in; a Coral Rose and a White Rose. We transplanted the white to the rose garden last week and it is chugging along just fine. The coral was in full bloom even this morning so moving it just now seems a bad idea. [Read the full story ...]

When I first looked at this pot I saw only one flower seedling but later I checked back and there were two! What a wonderful surprise. I am so excited to see the tiny blue-purple flowers this winter. I pray they bloom. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Radishes coming out of our ears! Well, they should be anyway. This particular variety is known as the 20 Day Radish as it only takes approximately 20 days from planting the seeds to harvest. I was very doubtful at first but that sure left quickly! I planted two seeds in this pot and within mere [Read the full story ...]
