At the Farm FallHello!
Can you believe it’s almost Fall? It has been a strange year. Nothing was where it belonged.

Some things in the Garden were excellent and some things never grew. The plants that grew were fabulous. My onions struggled, not very large. I don’t water, maybe that was the reason.

It’s a great Tomato year. I guess they like it dry. No blight either.

We planted Mini Color Corn and not one stalk grew. Lettuce did not like the heat, but is great now. The Gourds, Broom Corn, Pie Pumpkins, Sunflowers, Zinnias, and Pop Corn are doing fine.

I’m so impressed with the Chicken Pellet fertilizer. I could almost see things grow. You need to jump on that bandwagon and get some in 2022.

My China Rental idea had a lot of interest. No one was having an event to rent them. Next year maybe. Always great to reinvent myself.

The Popover Shack is doing great. I’m not open if the weather is bad – rain, windy or too cold. I sell them in the Barn also. They are really good, people love them.
