- In Search Of Feral Peacock
For the past several evenings,we have heard the cry of a peacock in the woods that separate our house from the barn and animals. And then, two evenings ago, at sundown, Amanda came face to facewith a beautiful peacock hanging out with the chickens...

Today I wanted to share our amazing apple harvest with you.Every year we have bushels of ugly apples...apples that taste wonderful and make terrific sauce and pies...but are definitely ugly. You see, we don't spray our trees,so our apples are organic....
- A Garden Gone Wild!
A very moist summer has made excellent growing conditions for our most prolific crop....WEEDS! We have had a fantastic berry harvest this year. Even the wild blackberries that line our woods are bursting with plump ripe fruit (watch out for chiggers,though!)....
- Sewing Oats
This year we took the plunge and planted one of our larger fields with an orchard grass mix with the hopes that next year we will be able to harvest enough hay to meet our demand for the entire year. We have turned what was once a corn field into an oat...

Paul Bunyan Cuke
I am not sure how big the World's Largest Cucumber might be,
but I think I may be headed in that direction with this gem...
Every day I am harvesting 5 to 10 cucumbers from this box...
They just keep coming and coming.
They have for more than 6 weeks now.
Last summer my cucumber vines died from a fungus.
We were unable to pick a single cuke.
This year they are mega-prolific!
And this big boy is the largest of all.
I don't have the heart to pick him now.
I know that at this point he will taste bitter,
so now we will just see how big he gets.
My hand measures 8 inches...so this
big boy is about 18 inches long.
I'll keep you posted on how big he ultimately grows.
This is the first year for our pear tree,
and miraculously, it is loaded with pears....
beautiful, ripening pears....
This year's apple harvest looks promising as well.
Maintaining an orchard organically is a bit unpredictable.
Usually the fruit tastes wonderful, but looks ugly.
This year it just might look as good as it tastes!
