Farm Happenings for December 8, 2022
Romanesco is coming in well and it is beautiful! My kids always call it Christmas trees when we cook it, as they eat it up better than most winter veggies. Weird weather patterns have made some things slow down and others seem to do better with it, but that's Louisiana weather for you. We have a go1 read more »

Strawberries are in and they look great. I can't believe December is here, this year flew by. We typically start planning and buying seeds for the Spring in mid December, just to make sure we get the varieties everyone likes before seeds sell out. The first planting of onions have been planted, and1 read more »

As much as I hate to see tomatoes go, I know we will be back planting them again soon. We had a decent run with these Fall tomatoes, but as you can see the cold got to them. We were lucky we didn't loose them in October when we got that early season frost, I could not cover them up because they wer1 read more »

Well we had some frost damage from last weeks early cold weather, it knocked our summer squash and cucs out completely, and also burned our pumpkins, and winter squash. Cherry tomatoes that are 8' tall actually faired well, the heirloom tomatoes have some damage but they may make a come back. We sh1 read more »
Farm Happenings for October 20, 2022
I can not believe this cold of weather has showed up so early! We usually don't see mid 30's temps until at least November. Either way we all knew it was coming eventually. The picture is a Rainbow I saw one morning that popped up over our strawberry plants. Still haven't gotten much rain, but the1 read more »

Satsuma's have started and even though they are still green on the outside, boy are they sweet! I always love when citrus season starts, and how about the wonderful weather we have been getting. It has been a bit dry and very dusty but the temperature and low humidity have been awesome. We are supp1 read more »
