My little garden has a couple of big plants.
Zucchini fried in a bit of butter was just right for supper.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

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.

A garden gift for me
I was just going for a ride with Rebecca and Andy today. The destination was the Cottage Garden Farm West of Waupaca on 54.
To my surprise, Rebecca decided I needed another garden spinner. She said the choice was mine.
I could have had a colorful one and/or a larger one, but this is the one I chose.
I am very happy, and very thankful, too.

A little backyard gardening
I have numerous pairs of gardening gloves hidden around the farm. Too bad I forget to use them.
At least my hands are washable. It’s the gunk under my fingernails that is so tough to get clean.
Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

End of season dahlias
The tubers can be left in the ground until it is freezing, but why wait? Better to work in nice weather.
Bob and I were often out in the cold digging up the flower bed. Our hands froze. Our noses ran. I hated those tubers because of the winter-like weather.
Not this year. I chose the last nice day to do this chore.
It’s no good to wait until the last minute.
I enjoyed my time with my flowers this fall because I wasn’t freezing.
Now I’m looking at a small package of tulip bulbs. Should I plant them? Or should I save them to force the bulbs to bloom mid-winter?
I planted a couple of fall bulbs, but when the snow flies I like to see growing plants. The rest will give me comfort in January.
Until next time, that’s it from Sunnybook Farm.
