We have several persimmon trees, this one is one of the biggest trees and bears the most fruit this year. I picked a bag full this morning and it tasted so good freshly picked.

First Cucumbers Harvest
I didn't have as much time to work in the garden in the last few weeks and the weeds are growing a lot faster than I can pull it. The cucumbers are coming along and I need to thin out the leaves so it wouldn't be so thick. I absolutely love fresh cucumbers and my… Continue reading First Cucumbers Harvest

Lots of work and progress in the garden this week; it's only been a week and things start to look very different. The weather is dry in our area, we only had 1 short shower last week.

Gardening Progress
I'm still not done planting all my vegetables. I was making a good progress until fellow gardeners gave me more herbs, plants, seeds and it's quiet a challenge to find space for them.

Ice
January 13, 2019 we were expecting snow in our area. The city salted the roads several days back and I was hoping to get several inches of snow. We lost our power last night and it came back early morning. I went back to sleep and woke up again to find that we didn't have… Continue reading Ice
Year In Review 2018
I didn't make a new year resolution last year but my goal was to exercise almost every day and I was able to stick to it and I'm very happy with the progress. It becomes a new lifestyle and hopes to carry this over to next year. I'm taking it one year at a time.… Continue reading Year In Review 2018
