Starting Seeds Indoors: A Spring Garden

Garlic Harvest

Wishing you and your family a safe and healthy Christmas filled with good food, conversation, peace, and relaxation!

Carrot Harvest

It is time to start harvesting carrots! Actually, might be a little past time, but that's okay! I hear sheep and horses love carrots as much as humans. We are trying to decide what to make. Maybe creamed carrots, carrot... Continue Reading →

What’s For Dinner? Chicken Chow Mein
