We picked up some black muscadine plants from co-op. They were in pretty bad shape. After a lot of love and a ton of liquid fertilizer and bone meal, they are looking great. They have tons of new growth on them. You can really tell the difference in the before and after pics.

So happy with all of my seeds from Baker Creek seeds, but these Rebel Starfighter tomatoes are truly amazing. They are up to 10 feet tall now and covered in fruit. I will absolutely plant these again.

My bucket maters are over 8 feet tall. I’m gonna need a ladder to pick them.

I really like these Tennessee spears green tomatoes. They stay green even when ripe. They have a mild flavor and very juicy 😍

I want to wish my beautiful wife Country Girl Adventures a very Happy Birthday!! Life just wouldn’t be the same without you. I love you more today than the day we got married. I love you fancy face🩷

I have carried this old knife we me for over 20 years. It’s nothing special but has been with me and used daily for all those years. It has processed more small game and fish than I could ever count, it has cut countless bundles of hay open, and has even been used to carve our wooden kitchen utensils. I lost it yesterday at work and it helped finish ruining my day( because it has a lot sentimental value, another story). I got to work this morning and retraced my steps from yesterday and I found it! I think it’s a sign that it’s going to be a good day today. Thanks for reading and I hope everyone has a great day!
