Milo

…pronounced ‘my-low’

We use it as decoration, either in a tall vase or hung upside-down on the wall. It is typically grown for all different uses – mainly for bird seed.

Perfect Fall Weekend!

Mother nature sure took care of us this weekend – 70 and sunny in the middle of October – it doesn’t get any better than that!

Too bad we can’t say the same about today – I guess we don’t want to get too spoiled

Soybeans and the Combine

This time of year we are busy doing more than just playing with the pumpkins. It is also harvest time! Right now we are harvesting soybeans. To do this we drive the combine (the big green machine in the picture) through the soybean field. The combine cuts the entire soybean plant, it rips the beans from the stalks, stores the beans in the comine and spits the wasted stalks out the back of the combine – back onto the field. When the combine is full the beans are emptied into the big red truck and hauled to the bin. These soybeans are primarily used as a source of protein in animal feeds. 

 

Friendly Scarecrows

Just wanted to share a few quick shots of a couple scarecrows. We have a ton of scarecrows hanging out around the farm – we’ll have to share more later.

Jarrahdale Pumpkins

These are edible! We’ve never tried it though…. does anyone have a recipe? Otherwise we just use these green pumpkins for decorations.

Caramel-Apple Goodness

Plain, Sprinkles, Peanuts or Turtle. Yes, that’s right, chocolate, caramel and pecans all loaded onto an apple! Besides the guts of a pumpkin, there isn’t a better Halloween mess than a face covered in caramel.

Metal Pumpkins

These pumpkins are handmade out of steel tractor discs!
