Winter at the Farm

Winter at the farm means rest and rejuvenation.  Not only for the earth, but for myself.  It is a chance to rest my weary old bones, sit by the fire and spin, knit, draw garden plans, and read a good book or two.

my son made the birdhouse and my son-in-law made my  Farm name sign
thanks guys



One of my favorite books to read and re-read is by Ruth Stout

hardback copy
16th edition
printed in 1976













































This lady is hilarious,  I look for this book every time I go to the thrift store.  I have found and given away several copies to the friends I have made while on my gardening journey in this great land of American.  If you can be the first to guess correctly how many states I have lived in my entire life
 (thus far, I'm sure there will be more)
 I will send you a copy of the book.
Please leave me a comment of........
1.  a  bit of garden wisdom
2.   your guess.

  1. Thank you for visiting my humble little blog. I've been looking around yours and I especially like your photographs. I can't take a good picture to save my life but maybe practice will make perfect. I look through the garden books in every thrift or resale store I visit and I don't think I've ever found the Ruth Stout book. You must be lucky!

    Garden wisdom? I learned to water the hole when planting transplants. Dig hole, add compost, water hole, insert plant, backfill some, water again, finish backfilling, water again, and don't pat the soil.

    OK, I gather you've moved around a lot so I'm guessing you've lived in twelve states.

    1. You have a great blog. Very informative. I especially found the posts about bees interesting. Hopefully, this summer I will be acquiring several hives. I don't know about a thing about bees other than..... don't sit on one. It should be an adventure!
      Yes, I have moved many times, but I haven't lived in 12 states (yet). Sorry, but keep guessing.
