Glynn's Farm

Actually I don't have a farm. It's really a garden in my back yard with some spillover into flower beds. I raise vegetables and several varieties of peppers for canning, dehydration and freezing. It's amazing how much better home-raised vegetables are, picked fresh from the garden, than store-bought stuff imported from God knows where and grown with chemicals of what kind only God knows. I'd love to hear from other "farmers." Write me.

Squash, Carrot, Roma Beans, and English Pea Update

From the left: corn, corn, carrots, squash, carrots, turnips, mustard, turnips, mustard egg plant, green cabbage. The beans (not visible to the left of the corn) are blooming and appear to be making strong enough bushes to support fruit. The corn has at least a month to go to harvest. The carrots are still about 3-4 weeks out from being ready to eat. The squash all have small fruit and it looks like maybe two varieties from the shape. One is acorn shaped and the other looks like a fat zucchini. Since I ordered the seed through the mail, I can't remember exactly what kind of squash they're supposed to be and I don't know if I wrote it down anywhere.













The English peas are also blooming (visible on the chicken-wire trellis) and I ate the first pod raw this morning. I ought to have peas to eat in a week.
