The apple tree put out a lot of fruit this year. We get some daily!
Some pics of the garden from early August. I really let the garden go this summer, it just ran wild. Still, I was able to harvest some things.
I grow mint in the garden, and have so much of it. If you know anything at all about mint, you know it grows like a weed. People often ask me, what do you do with all that mint? One thing I do is use it for tea. My older son and I have several [...]
How my kitchen window looks this month. I love green growing things in my house. Some of them are bean plants I uprooted accidentally while weeding the garden, some are wild flowers I picked as buds that will blossom, and some are various plants growing around the house.
The sunflowers popped, I had completely forgotten about them. The garden has gone feral on me due to my neglect. I planted a bunch of sunflowers among the corn, squash and beans. The corn has gone to sh*! but the sunflowers are pretty
The turnips are ready, been ready. I harvested some the other day. We usually cook them in chili or soups and stews. I really LOVE turnip greens so basically grow them for that.
Check out this cool bean trellis! It was outside the library in Boothbay Harbor, Maine where we went for vacation. see more pics here
I’m behind on posting pics, this are from early last month. The boys helped me in the garden. We needed to transplant lots of stuff.
The mint finally exploded in the garden! We have so much mint! Excitement! I pulled some and stuck it in my blue glass jars in my kitchen, as I like pretty green growing things everywhere in the house. The mint plants have taken to the water, though I don’t know how long they will live. [...]
I’ve already got corn, beans, and squash growing separately but decided to start some more together. This is called a 3 sisters garden. These types of plants grown very well together and benefit each other. The seeds I’m using are all from last year’s crops. They are red bean, yellow corn, and acorn squash. familyearthprint.com

We are going to get A LOT of apples this year! It’s been a few years since it’s bloomed so fully like this
Went to the garden to weed and get some seedlings in the ground, and saw the mint was spreading out and growing really well. Finally! Everyone is always like oh no, you don’t mint in your garden; it will take over and you will have too much of it. Well, we love mint tea. It [...]

My sons dug trenches in the garden, dug in compost, and cleaned up the yard. They are such a big help! Big pics are some turnips and carrots from last year we missed, they survived winter! Most of them were soggy and ruined, but a few were ok. Thanks for visiting FamilyEarthprint.com!

One of my indoor plants that has fallen on hard times. I generally have bad luck with ferns, not sure why because I follow the instructions. Can this fern be saved or is it well and truly dead? When I saw it was starting to die, about a week ago, I set it out on [...]
