I planted an apple tree. The one, single apple fell off due to a worm. I planted blueberry bushes. The chickens ate every last one in their reach, leaving me about five. I planted peaches and plums. The deer not only knocked off the fruit and ate it but also stripped the lower 2/3 worth…
A rose bug. Not to be confused with a rose bud of which I have few. Rose bugs however I have in abundance. Go figure. Oh well, they are pretty no matter what!
I love moss rose. You can’t hardly kill them, they flower every day and they grow super-duper fast. This year I ended up with some great colors. Pink flowers are nice. Red flowers are sexy. Purple flowers are purdy. But yellow, orange and peach are my favorite. Luckily I ended up with all three. Happy…

When in reality (since I work full-time, home-school, blog, sell books, have chickens, go to church and…
Raindrop keep fallin’ on my…Cannas. I don’t think they mind. Amen.
My little sister has a good sense of humor. She bought me this a few years back for my birthday. It was good advice then and it is good advice now. Because you never know about those fairies lurking in the flower garden. Besides it makes me laugh. 🙂
So Addie wanted to pick out her own vegetable to grow this spring. Therefore we planted 6 eggplant plants. They were purple and this was the reason for choosing them I am sure. Anyway. 4 of them died, 1 is stunted and producing nothing, the last one is LOADED. The poor plant is drooping with…
