In July 2008 we moved from urban life in Atlanta to a 4.5 acre farm in north Rockdale county, Georgia. Our goal is to raise organic foods and a small flock of pastured animals. This blog is meant to be a guide to our life on the farm with all the joys and problems that come with trying to live life differently.

Watermelon!
We only had two watermelons fruit off the one vine
that survived the intense heat and lack of rain this summer. The first melon was the size of a baseball and rotted before I could harvest it. This one that I took off the vine this morning is a nice icebox size and only has a small spot on the bottom where it got a little too much moisture during the last rain. It is a 'Moon and Stars' heirloom variety.
This is the rest of the
morning take: pink tomatoes (some still a bit green but delicious fried) banana peppers, jalapeno peppers both green and red, and said watermelon. I'm planning on pickling the peppers with some okra we got from a neighbor. The watermelon we'll have for desert tonight. Should all be dee-licious.
