Farmer Kelly

I eat a lot of salad these days. I eat so much of it that I have a really hard time getting excited about eating it any more. I go through a bi-weekly ritual of making a huge salad that sits in our fridge for lunches, suppers, etc. Well, today's salad was a little different than the usual salad I eat every day for lunch...



What is different you ask? Half of those cherry tomatoes were grown in MY garden!! Yep folks, I am Farmer Kelly... hear me roar! I bet you cannot even guess which ones came out from Wilson Farms vs. those grocery store ones... I should seriously give up this construction management gig and become a vegetable farmer. Any investors interested in donating?

A Day On The Farm

We went back home for the day on Saturday. A full day of activities was planned on our land. The front three acres seriously needed to be bush-hogged… some of the weeds were almost five feet high it seemed! And the grass we planted was NO where to be found underneath! There were still a couple of high areas that did not have weeds or grass growing on them so we re-harrowed them and re-planted grass seed. Hubby and a friend of ours (who has all the farm equipment) worked all day bush hogging, weed eating, spraying Round-Up, harrowing, spreading fertilizer, seeding and re-harrowing. I bowed out late morning and went to my nephew’s 9th birthday party. All in all, it was a productive day all the way around.
