Peacevine Cherry Heirloom Tomato at 1840 Farm

I had intended to share a photo of the chicks in their garden coop today.  It seemed fitting given that they turn three months old this week.  That is, until I spotted this… Once I saw the first nearly ripe heirloom tomato, all bets were off.  All I could think about was tasting this Peacevine …

Lily Season

There’s a season for everything here at 1840 Farm.  Soon, it will be my favorite season of all:  tomato season.  I’ll walk out to the garden every morning to survey the ripe fruit and return to the farmhouse with pounds of delicious heirloom tomatoes to share with my family.  Just thinking about it makes my …

Who’s Watching Who?

Since our day old baby chicks arrived three weeks ago, I’ve kept our Wingscapes BirdCam busy capturing photos and videos of them in their brooding pen.  Today as I was looking through the hundreds of images captured earlier this week, I was taken with two photos of one of our Mottled Cochin Bantam chicks. In …

Nearly Wordless Wednesday – April 4, 2012

This morning, a welcome sight made its first appearance in the flower gardens at 1840 Farm.  The first daffodils have emerged and brought some much appreciated spring color to the flower beds.  It won’t be long and they’ll be joined by colorful blooming tulips. The mere sight of them made me daydream about planting the …

Nearly Wordless Wednesday – March 28, 2012

Yesterday we were visited by friends bearing the most delicious gifts.  When they left to start their journey home, we had a new supply of homemade apple jelly, beautiful maple syrup, and maple lollipops. They also brought along homemade fresh maple cotton candy.  While I’m not usually a big fan of the standard rainbow-colored cotton …

What can you do when your youngest child outgrows his pair of Wellingtons?  Easy.  Use one as a container for a wildflower bouquet.  Or would that be a bootquet?  I’m not sure.  You’ll have to decide for yourself. Pin It

Why I Garden

Two words:  heirloom tomatoes.  I will freely admit to being giddy this morning.  Why?  I have spotted the first ripening heirloom tomatoes in our greenhouse.  I know that it will only be a few days and there will be Peacevine Cherry tomatoes to enjoy fresh from the vine.  That first taste will be the moment …
