Who doesn’t like Queen’s Wreath Vine? I have a renewed appreciation for my Queen’s Wreath Vine, also known as Antigonon leptopus. In the garden during the summer months it is fabulous. Now, I realize that there are some who do enjoy the satisfaction of working hard with their plants. The last thing I want to do […]
This is the conclusion to a story that I wrote back in January about a dog and her battle with ‘forbidden fruit’. Sodapop, who belongs to my youngest sister, Chicken Farmer, and her family – is the main character of this story. Sodapop is the daughter of my dog, Missy (that really has nothing to […]
Can you figure out what is wrong with this picture? I can see two things. First of all, my son is holding a pumpkin from our vegetable garden in July. Definitely not the normal time of year for seeing kids with pumpkins. The second thing wrong with this photo is that my son is in […]
Today’s post is from my sister (Chicken Farmer) and resident of Double S Farms. As a California transplant living in the desert of Arizona, there are a few things that really trip me out and one of them is flood irrigation. Every two weeks in the summer and once a month in the fall, winter, […]

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I wish that I could say that I enjoyed mine, but unfortunately, I came down with the stomach flu. I am just now able to sit for a while without getting dizzy. Oh well, enough about me. I am so excited to see your garden bouquets for […]
Some of you may remember that we planted our first family vegetable garden this spring. The kids and I have had a great time planting the seeds, seeing the grow into full grown vegetables. We harvested corn a couple of weeks ago and are picking cherry tomatoes daily. Now, because this is our first garden, […]
I have been enjoying the weather very much this June. Now for those of you who do not live in the desert, this is not a ‘normal’ statement. June is a month that is spent indoors, hibernating with the air-conditioning and looking outside at the garden. But, we have had a cooler then normal June […]
