07/19/2018

We still have not taken the honey off yet. Will post when we do.

07/09/2018

this weather needs to clear up and be more sunny, it is playing havoc on our blueberries. Also with all the humidity the honey bees are really angry and too mean to get the honey off. We are trying though!

06/14/2018

Blueberries are starting to get ripe. should have ripe ones the first of July!

06/04/2018

Maybe the rain has let up for a few days and we can get the rest of the garden planted.

04/19/2018

Nothing planted still. The tractor is broke down!

03/27/2018

Nothing planted yet. Ground just to wet to plow.

03/27/2018

Wishing everyone a great 2018. Happy New Years

This cold weather is good for the blueberries. They need at least 500 hours of below freezing temperatures. Although I will be glad when it warms up some because it is not good for my power bill$$$$$$$$$

Merry Christmas to all from Nichols Farm.

09/13/2017

Pint jars are 8.00$ and they have 1 1/2 pounds. Pint jars with comb are 9.00$. 1 pound squeeze plastic jars are 6.00$. 2 pound glass jars are 12.00$. We will only have a few of these. Cut Comb Pack is 6.00$.

Will be bringing October beans to Fort Payne Farmers Market today and maybe blue lake beans if i can get them picked.

06/30/2017

May have to pick Blue Lake beans in the rain. It just keeps raining and looks like it will not stop.

06/23/2017

We were planning to take the honey off this weekend but looks like we will not get to because of all the rain.

06/22/2017

Well we managed to get rattlesnake beans and blue lake beans picked in between the heavy rains. The blueberries got pretty beat up by all the rain. We will be at Fort Payne farmers Market tomorrow with beans, squash and cucumbers. No Blueberries. Time 3pm til 6pm.

06/22/2017

This rain doesn't look like it is going to let up. So far we haven't been able to pick blueberries or anything from the garden.

Our Garden 2017

06/10/2017

Spent all day digging potatoes. Hot and dirty.

06/09/2017

We plan on being at Fort Payne Farmers this afternoon. We don't have many blueberries yet but will have a few pints.

05/17/2017

Blueberries probably won't be as many this year, they have a disease called Mummy Berry. A lot just fall off before they get ripe. Hopefully we will have at least a 60% crop. We will just have to wait and see.

05/17/2017

Garden planted and growing a little. Green beans are stuck and growing up the poles. Tomatoes have had a hard time and not doing well, guess the nights have been too cool.

04/11/2017

Getting the garden planted with these few days of dry weather.
