My Adorable Clementine!

Last spring I purchased 30 chicks from tractor supply. I wanted a rainbow of colors so I got a mix of red-sex links, black sex-links, plymouth rocks,black copper marans,saffire gems,and amerucanas. Out of 30 chickens,Clemintine a red sex-link has turned out to be part human. LOL or at least she thinks so. Her shenanigans include coming into the house. Jumping into the car to go for a ride. And helping us jumpstart my sisters truck when it would not start last week. She always runs to greet all our visitors, insisting on a treat. I have never owned the red sex-link breed but for sure they are one of my favorites now.

Running late

Are you running late getting your tulip bulbs in the ground? NO Worries...it not to late. We had some late warm weather and now cold and rain so...bulbs are still in the box. In central Texas you still have time. this upcoming weeks weather looks perfect for planting your tulip bulbs. Be sure and plant your bulbs 6-8 inches deep. Recently the question came up are tulips perennials?

Time goes by so fast.

I just logged into my blog account and I cannot believe 2021 was my last blog. Time flys when your having fun! Here are a few photos. Enjoy!

Beautiful Eggs

Im truly loving my Americana and Safire Gem Chickens. The Americanas are laying almost daily even in December. My Safire Gems are coming up on 6 months and will be laying soon. The green eggs in the photos below were all laid by my two Americanas. I really do enjoy my green eggs and ham! lol

Growing Tomatoes in Texas

Hello! Its been awhile.Its good to be back in Texas. Once again I am growing tomatoes here. It's already December 5th and I am still harvesting tomatoes. The great thing about growing a garden in Texas is you get 2 growing seasons. It's possible to grow tomatoes through January or the first freeze.You can push them a little longer if you cover them good when the tempetures dip down to 32. Some of my old time favorites to grow are Mortgage Lifter and Beefsteak. I tried a new hybred called Heat Master this year. It produced well. But not the best flavor. Im sticking next year to my favorites. We did have a notice of frost so I picked a lot of green ones for fried green tomatoes and salsa. Enjoy the photos from my garden today!

The Importance of Flowers and Herbs in your Garden

Planting Herbs and Flowers in your garden is great for the bees and butterfly's as well as for yourself. I have always included Herbs and Flowers in my garden not only for their culinary value but also for the beauty of it. There is something magical about butterflies zooming around the garden. The bees, butterfly's and other beneficial bugs they attract to the garden pollinate your vegetables and fruits and can make a difference of a good crop and an excellent crop. My vegetable harvests are always more abundant when i mix in the flowers and herbs. Photos from my garden in 2016 in Florida <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk9k8X6UtS6bKeF-3MNThQZFnbtlR59oYpFwc5YSJDOW23OtdZFj9FfzbePH69hfIlqtqyz5nELeSINoKte_KdJmpjVZ6PUBkkEYs6gOK87iwRoH7dyZR_olKzRUvvRGq5rziUX_YzDu2W/s1600/2017-04-30+2017+farm+033.JPG" imageanchor="1" > Choose an area where you will be spending the most time in the garden to plant your herbs and flowers. Such as near your greenhouse entrance or near a favorite shade tree or table you visit for lunch. Zinnia flowers are easy to grow and butterfly's love them. Rosemary and Thyme are a good choice along with cilantro when these go to seed they produce tiny flowers that the bees and butterflies enjoy.

Moringa is a must have for every garden. It is also called the drumstick tree due to its seed pods looking like drumsticks. It is a super food with more nutrients than many of the other superfoods. per 100 grams. Moringa is very easy to grow. Place seeds into soil about 1/2 inch deep, water until seed germinates and depending upon rain in your area water only once a week for the first month to get established. Moringa does not like wet feet so do not over water. Along with growing your moringa be sure and add this book " The Moringa Tree what you don't know can heal you" to your library it has science based facts about the nutrition and medicinal values of the moringa plant. here is a link for the book on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E2NEVEG/?ref=exp_inventorleewheelbarger_lv_dp_vv_d you can find moringa seeds at Lee's Amazon page at the link below. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076932HYZ/?ref=exp_inventorleewheelbarger_lv_dp_vv_d
