visit www.harmonygardens.blogspot.com, and make an effort to go and see Dr. Calvin Bey’s garden tours this weekend. Even if you don’t garden or don’t have any desire to garden, you should see it anyway, it’s a work of art.

Meet David Perreault.
He is a neighbor of mine who lives up the hill in the Wedington Woods area. This year he started a garden in his front yard after coming down a few times with his family and asking some questions. David said that he has tried two years in a row to grow vegetables [...]
Hail storm

I believe this to be an isolated incident, I don’t believe all were affected by this the other night, but in my neck of the woods, Hwy 16 west, we received 15 minutes of hail followed by a torrent of rain. It didn’t make sense to me, because it was 90 degrees that day. The rain [...]

Our babies, not so much anymore, received their first taste of the outside the other day while I cleaned out their temporary living quarters. Oliver was really excited because he was able to hold onto one of them.
This photo looks a little strange, that’s not te chicken’s eye, it’s a little mohawk it’s getting on top of [...]

For a limited time only, you have the opportunity to purchase and enjoy fresh, local potatoes which only had to travel 9 miles to the natural food store, Ozark Natural Foods, in Fayetteville Arkansas. There were about a half a bushel a piece of red and white potatoes. And my goodness are they delicious!

An email Paul received from Calvin Bey, local gardening hero.
When I teach Organic Gardening classes I talk about the abuse of our land with pesticide and chemical (high salt) fertilizers, and why our produce today has 20-70 percent fewer nutrients than it did 50 years ago. This is all documented. Unfortunately few Dr’s know anything about this [...]

Today, Thursday, some produce managers from our local food coop, Ozark Natural Foods came to the farm to take a peek at our practices. Pauline and Jeff toured around with Paul as he shcmoozed and sashayed them amongst the goods. I was happy to know that they were very impressed with what we were doing. It looks [...]

We have a new friend here on the ole’ farm. On several occasions he or she has visited and allowed me to get close enough to take these pictures.

There were four new rows added to the farm this year. With pumpkin and watermelon dreams, you need a lot of space, so space is what we made. Josh and I were the idea people in this endeavor and Paul was the action man, if it weren’t for him saying “Hey, the space doesn’t exist, [...]
