We started to plant sweet corn about 10 days ago…. here’s what those seeds currently look like
We planted more today!
Hoping for good weather this summer so we’ll be enjoying sweet corn by mid-July through August!!! Can’t wait! Here are some details from today’s planting…
Nevermind all the snow. Spring must be right around the corner – at least we hope so! Calves are starting to be born!! Here is one with his momma – he’s sporting a nice a milk-mustache.
Did you know: Holiday evergreens are said to symbolize our everlasting circle of life?!?!
You can spray your greens with garden-type anti-desiccants to reduce moisture loss and increase life!
Keep your greens away from any heat sources – they do better in cold weather.
Here’s what we suggest to help keep your tree healthy through the New Year:
Before you put your tree in its stand cut off at least 1/4″ to remove any sap build-up
Use a tree stand that holds at least a gallon of water – refill it daily – don’t allow the water to drop below the bottom of the trunk (otherwise a sap plug will form and the tree won’t be able to drink any more water.
Keep your tree away from heat sources
We have big and small wreathes -
How about one
or two
or four 
We have Fraser Firs. They have short, dark-green needles which are silver-ish on the bottom side.
Canaan Firs have slightly longer and softer needles
Balsam Firs are considered to be the most fragrant tree.
We also have trees with long needles, the White Pine and the Scotch Pine
Today is November 25…. so we’re a little behind with the blog but it is officially Christams season!
We have a lot more information and pictures of Christmas trees coming.

We will have the following types of trees:

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.
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
