Gosh we’ve been so busy these last two weeks. For starters a bunch of garden friends come over for a party and we let them tour the garden. Let's see, we picked peaches from a friends garden and mom made peach preserves, and we also picked fresh grapes and mom made grape juice (I don’t know if its safe to drink or not- moms never made grape juice before ):p

Gosh I hope we're not the only ones with major bug problems, aka the blister beetle and the harlequin bug are just eating us alive (not literally just the plants). I mean they're everywhere: on the tomatoes, on the eggplant, on this and that, but they love the tomatoes (evil little buggers).

We helped Mom make a carrot bed out of wood, 40 by 25 feet, and it looks great! (mom made most of it.) Of course what great farmers we are, we chose to make it in the middle of the day.: )  im also saving most of my seeds from my  flowers. And today we found kiki and her babys (Jeffery and nebby) a good home-she’s not a milk goat and her babys are boys- but she went to a good home.: )

We think it’s great news that several Tennessee Prisons are choosing to Go Green, and Live Green Tennessee recently visited Sergeant Doug Griffith of the Tennessee Department of Corrections.
Griffith explained a recycling program that turns leftover food from five prisons into rich, fertile mulch that’s then used on a 100-acre kitchen garden. The inmates working the farm save the prison system—and you, the taxpayer—money...
But more important is the responsibility, the fresh air, and the opportunity to learn practical, employable and life-long skills to help trustees adjust to life upon release.
