This is how I grow my cucumbers. Two types. One burpless, thin-skinned, and seedless (actually they have a small seed cavity of very small seeds); and one regular ole cucumber (also with few seeds typical with this variety.) Both delicious. Grown in the soil with natural fertilizers, without pesticides (because of insect exclusion netting), without any preservative coating, and without traveling 2 hours or more in the back of a truck or trailer from the produce auction! They grow up the string, over the pool noodles, and then back down.

Also, please note that I am in the newly air conditioned barn during the heat wave. It’s better for me and the veggies. 🙂

Happy Father’s Day to all of the Fathers, Step-Fathers, and Father-Figures who have helped guide us along our path.
Several of you have asked about the significance, if any, of the old wagon wheel and milk cans at the stand. We believe the wagon wheel belonged to my Grandfather Vogt, and dates back to the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. The milk cans belonged to my Father’s brother, and date back to the 1930-1940’s. I have several mementos from my father as well, but will wait to share them until I can rebuild the barn, and provide an indoor space to display them. Happy Father’s Day, Dad! 🚜❤️🍅👏

Happy Mother’s Day to all who have helped mold and guide us on our path !

Tomatoes are coming along a little slower than last year due to the numerous overcast days and cool nights. I plan on opening for the 2025 season on Friday, May 23.

I will only have my tomatoes at that time. As long time customers know, I don’t fill my stand with out-of-season stuff from the produce auctions and brokers (or “partners,” as the latest buzzword used by the re-sellers seems to be). Cucumbers and Peppers will begin ripening about mid-June. As always, my veggies are grown with natural fertilizers and without potentially harmful pesticides. Local sweet corn, cantaloupe, and watermelon should begin ripening by the end of June/first of July.

Construction of the new bridge access road continues. Please be aware of construction vehicles and equipment along South Weinbach as well as my property.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon! Happy Mother’s Day, Mom

A lot of people have been texting and calling to see if I’m ok because of the Ohio River flooding. Actually, I think they’re really just checking on the tomatoes, but they have to ask about my well being, you know, just seem concerned. 😁 The tomatoes are great (& on schedule for mid to late May), I’m great, the barn and greenhouses are both dry, and the construction equipment is all good. Everything is great except for the 3 feet of water at the end of my driveway.🫤 I had a couple of very tense days until officials fine-tuned their crest forecast. The bridge construction people were even kind enough to send their surveyor out to reassure me that the homestead area would remain dry. …but, how about no more floods this season. I’m good! 🙂

After a minor setback this time last year, research continues on the greatest innovation in the modern world! (Yes, even greater than AI!) Of course, I’m talking about the hybridization of Tomatoes and Sweet Corn, henceforth known as “The Corny Tomato!” 😉 Since they are consistently the most popular of all summer veggies, it only makes sense! Right? It’s Genius, right !? I still don’t understand why no one has thought of this before, or why the patent office returned my application. Has elon shut down the patent office, too? 🤣😉
I look forward to seeing everyone mid-May. I’ll post a more exact opening date as we get closer.
Bridge Access Road Update-The contractors are scrambling to move their equipment out of the river flooding low lands for the second time this season due to the upcoming storms. They got caught with some equipment partially getting wet the first time. They say they don’t intend to make that mistake a second time. They also tell me they are somewhat on schedule. I’m amazed that they have continued to work in absolutely brutal weather conditions over the winter. They expect to complete the pile driving sometime in July, and then start building up. My property is full of scaffolding and lumber to build concrete forms with more supplies arriving almost daily. More to come…

I’m sure everyone is aware of the story of the origin of thanksgiving, and the traditional meal of turkey, dressing, pumpkin pie, and more; but how many of you are aware of the traditional day(s) after-thanksgiving turkey sandwich with a couple of slices of tomato and pumpkin pie? 😉 As luck would have it, due to the extended warm weather this season, I happen to still have tomatoes ! And a few Jarrdale, Peanut Pumpkin, and Cinderella Pumpkins which are excellent for making pumpkin pie ! Don’t take my word for it. Check out this review by Susannah Dickman of EatPlantsBeWell

Also, note the bridge build photos below. More soon
