Pumpkin season

Ugly is the word for my pumpkins.

From a distance, they don’t look too bad, so they now decorate my front porch.

When I planted the seedlings in the spring, I had high hopes.

At least, I have something to show you today.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Triplet pear tomatoes

I don’t have much of a garden, but I do have some things to show you today.

The best tasting fruits and veggies don’t have to be perfect to adorn your dinner table. My odd-shaped tomatoes didn’t even make it to the table. I ate them as soon as I finished this video.

Later, I’ll use the rest of the tomatoes in a taco salad. M-m good.

These tomatoes were grown in a large pot. This shows that even in a small space you can grow a garden you can be proud of.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

More from the garden

Homegrown tomatoes, m-m good.

If you haven’t grown your own, you’ll just have to go to a farmer’s market or a roadside stand and get some yummy tomatoes. It may be a couple of weeks before the real harvest comes in, but they are well worth the wait.

I bought my plants with a couple of blossoms on, so they had a head start. I won’t be canning any. I just like to munch them fresh off the vine.

A garden can be in a flowerpot so maybe next season you’ll grow your own tomato plant. Harvesting from there is easy.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

What’s growing?

My little garden has a couple of big plants.

Zucchini fried in a bit of butter was just right for supper.

A trip to Wagner’s Market

If you look close, you can see the white honey on the right of this photo, about an inch down from the top.

After walking around outside, I found my honey inside and then walked around the store. There’s quite a selection of jams, jellies, pickles, and more. Tomorrow I’ll show you the jars I brought home.

This location is on the southeast corner of the 54-47 intersection. You can’t miss Wagner’s Market.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
