Even more from The Farm

Something a little more interesting than rocks.
Like any good gardener, she is always expanding. This part was new to me.
The website is www.visit-thefarm.com.

The Mice Girls


I don't remember planting these, maybe the mice did it.

You can't see them but these are sitting in an old zinc lid, which are hard to find. I tried them sitting in a little can but no one liked them, guess it's lid karma.

Kynda's Garden




"They say music heals; well, so does gardening. It crosses all lines. Doesn't matter where you live, who your mama was, what church you go to---we gardeners are a tribe. Our gardens give us physical beauty, but they also connect us to our past, root us in the present, and give wonderful opportunities to share with other people." A quote from Dr. Dirt, Edwards, Mississippi

Happy Shoppers at The Farm


We had a very short visit to Springfield but we had a lot of fun. In case you don't know us, this is Jeff, my son-in-law, daughter PJ, me,daughter Kynda, and her mom-in-law Vi. The gardens were so beautiful. More from Kynda's yard and The Farm tomorrow.

The Plant with No Name

This is how it starts out, it looks like a brass knob, it is about 3 feet tall.
This is a little later, now it looks like a pineapple. Barb gave it to me but can't remember its name. It is an interesting plant.

New Girls

I really am still working, but it is hard to go from garden to basement workplace.
This was Charlie's pick. We liked their noses and big smiles.

This is a weekend of celebration, and we should. Also keep in your heart the missing American soldier in Afganistan. According to USA today he is missing from the Mullakheil area of eastern Paktika province.
