We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!! We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more. We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for our family. GMO foods are causing us (our family) many allergy problems and we are trying to get away from them completely. We harvest, freeze, can and dehydrate all our produce. So far we have done well and are continuing to try to have our produce last all year till the next harvest.

Little bit of a group discussion going on here. The middle picture has 3 ladybugs... Everywhere John looked, there were more moving into the area. Hope it is a friendly discussion. :) |

Over here in western Washington we've been having thunder for almost 36 hours, but not a lot of rain. It rained pretty seriously yesterday morning with some hail and not much since. But this thunder is just bizarre! We almost never get thunder. |

Wonderful! I love melons. I wish I could grow them, but I haven't got enough heat to grow good ones. I have to depend on you folks on the other side of the mountains. |

Went to weed the poor forgotten tomato under the windmill, but found more than weeds growing under there. I am so glad it was early and too cold for the wasps to react. |

Some of our Ladybugs have a ton of spots on them, some just a few... do the ladybugs care? Will they mix with bugs of a different spot number? The curious question for the day. |

John brought home all these beautiful cherries and I was excited to make them into a cherry shortcake dessert... But a thunderstorm came by and knocked the power out a couple times and changed my plans. |
