What are you eating on today? For me, it’s more watermelon from the @run-a-muck-farms garden! I am getting down to the last of them though. I have a few more to harvest, but the plant itself is pretty much done at this point. I am also looking to harvest some sweet potatoes and more peppers…

I guess one plant that I got right in the @run-a-muck-farms garden this year is the zucchini! This yellow variety has been interesting to watch grow because it will turn green at times, but dang, these things get huge as well! These are seriously some of the biggest zucchini I have ever seen! The thing…

The time has come for the watermelon to start being picked! The first one up was ready to go with the vine basically falling off of it! It was an easy pick and has me excited that I am finally getting some good fruits of my labors around the farm! This isn’t a small melon…

So, I completely underestimated how big this watermelon plant was going to get. This is my first experience growing them other than in my grandfather’s garden back when I was a kid, and forgot just how big these things get. But as with everything this year, it’s all a learning experience. But, at least it…

The garden is starting to produce some serious melons! I harvested my first ripe cantaloupe and have a couple of others that are probably just a couple of days or so away from being ready! This has been one of my healthiest plants so far and will be growing more next year for sure. This…

I’ll admit, I got a bit of a later start with getting my garden going this year, so watching people picking produce like crazy already while my garden hasn’t been producing much of anything, has been frustrating to say the least. Really all it takes is some patience! My strawberries produced a bit in late…

It’s time for another garden project here on the @run-a-muck-farms homestead. My tomatoes and pepper plants are starting to get big enough that they need support, the tomatoes especially. I had been playing with some ideas about building a trellis out of some old fencing instead of buying something like a round tomato cage so…

Well, I must be doing something right, because my hard work is starting to pay off here at @run-a-muck-farms! It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling when I go out to check the gardens and see a bunch of little red goodness popping out all over the beds! I mean, just look at them!…

One of my favorite veggies are sweet potatoes. Have been ever since I was a baby. And rightfully so, because they are awesome! Not to mention full of nutrients and make a great staple food for the garden. I ordered some @run-a-muck-farms green buckets from Amazon so that it matched my mantra, haha, and they…
