One of the new dahlias in the garden this year is Hilltop Glo. While she has a couple of day left before she’s ready to cut, I am already in love with her.

Here’s hoping she’s a prolific tuber producer 🤞

Find beauty even in the imperfections.

This dahlia wasn’t cut a the right time, ideally she would have been cut before the center is exposed. She a notorious one for having a very short window of the ideal time and she doesn’t last long when she does bloom. She also does not look like what I thought I was buying. I was seconds away from cutting and tossing this one to make room for more. But she is beautiful nonetheless. By the looks of it, this bumblebee doesn’t seem to care if she’s picture perfect or show worthy. I couldn’t just cut her and ruin someone’s hard work, so she’ll stay until tomorrow.

Today, we are canning salsa! 🍅

Garden haul last night! We might need a few more warm, sunny days to get those tomatoes ripening a little quicker. But in reality, these tomatoes at the “blush” stage will ripen nicely in just a few days and were intentionally harvested at this stage to help prevent pest/animal damage, rot, and cracking.

Sometimes waiting until they are fully red is just too late for us. All it takes is one heavy rain or one hungry bird, and that seemingly perfect tomato suddenly only has one perfect side…the other side is toast. 😂

Once tomatoes have started to turn color, they are physiologically mature and have very little difference in flavor or nutrition compared to those left to fully ripen on the vine.

To ripen them off the vine, simply keep them at room temperature, preferably out of direct sunlight. (I say this as I currently have a bunch sitting on my picnic table…in the sun. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Happy gardening! 👩🏻‍🌾🍅

Let me introduce you to the Aji Ayuyo Pepper.

It originated in Peru. As it ripens it changes from deep purple to creamy purple to iridescent orange and the bright red when fully ripe. Flavor profile is sweet and tangy with a mild heat, more mild than the average jalapeno.

Seeds purchased through Bohica Pepper Hut, started and grown by yours truly.

We’re still here.
Just living life one day at a time.

The garden is out of control and it’s a daily race to beat the rabbits to harvest green beans. We were absent for 3 days and our pickle cukes got out of control. But on the bright side, I came home to see that I FINALLY have my first dahlia bloom. And, that right there was enough, and definitely the most exciting that I harvested today.

Next year will hopefully be my comeback year. Heck, who am I kidding…after the last 2 summers, it might only be my recovery year. The year where I fall in love with gardening again, let it be for joy not work, and finally take a deep breath and enjoy it.

But, back to the dahlias…
I’m looking ahead to fall and spring. I am looking to replace a significant amount of tubers that I lost. Between life putting the brakes on planting them all and some big rains, I have lost about 3/4 of my inventory/different varieties. If anyone has a local lead on some bulk tubers or extra clumps please let me know.

If you happen to see the pesky rabbits that keep eating my garden, could you please let them know that my kale started coming back. 🙄 Maybe they can go back to that and leave my cucumbers and beans alone?

It’s Cow Appreciation Day!

Here are a few fun facts you might not know:

🤎 Cows have an almost 360° panoramic view, helping them keep an eye out for predators.

🌱 Beef cattle spend the majority of their lives eating grass and forage, turning plants we can’t digest into nutritious beef.

👃 A cow’s sense of smell is incredibly powerful, they can detect scents from several miles away under the right conditions.

🐮 Cattle are social animals. They form friendships, recognize familiar faces (both cows and people), and prefer to stay with their herd.

💧 A mature beef cow can drink 20–30 gallons of water a day, and even more during hot summer weather.

❤️ Behind every healthy herd are countless early mornings, late nights, and year-round care from farmers who are committed to raising them responsibly
