AgriMissouri
Look what rolled up to my house today. I love that car. Look at all the cool veggies on the side of it. I'm going to have to think up a way to paint the jeep now. Maybe..............something like this but only with cool looking berries all over it. Thank you Karen Green For all your help, interest and appreciation for what I'm doing.

Garden Wagon
Thank you thank you thank you to my new BFF Marilyn Nickle. This little treasure came from her barn and handed down from Donnie father. I need to repair those wheels and that baby will be rocking though the field

Strawberry
I'm telling you these berries are coming up everywhere. Look at the size of that one. just kidding. I'm not even growing strawberries this year. You just can't put in everything at one time. When the farm is complete I will have 7 acres of berries.
Boysenberry
Not much to see here but oh my you are going to love these guys. They make the best jelly in the world. Did I mention that next year I will be giving classes on jelly and pie's basics? Please check in often for class updates and schedules.
Red Raspberry
This crew was heading up by myself. I had Marilyn Nickle, Mark Lindenmeyer (husband unit) and Tonya Willig. Even though everyone in this group were over 47 years old, we were mightly powerful planter. Thank you to my wonderful group you did a super job.
Blackberry
These group of berries was headed up by Bob Ismert of lee's summit, mo. On his crew was Pam Ismert his lovely wife, Jake and Ashley Ismert. These were a little challenging for the crew because the ground was somewhat wet also in that area. Thank you all so much for digging and shoveling that day away. There are blooms on there but you need to look very close.
Elderberries
Now take a close look at those darling. Notice all the new growth starting on the canes. We have over 200 of those little guys. Yep I planted those all by myself. I can't not wait to show everyone how easy it is to make elderberry jelly. Has anyone every tried Elderberry Wine?
Bluecrop Blueberry
Please notice the small flowers that are forming on the bush. OMG that's exciting. You must have two different types of blueberries in order for pollention to be completed with blueberries.
Compost Pile
Wow what a heap of hay. Yesterday I added 6 buckets of Horse poop and that pile needs churned again. (Thank you to Bailey for your wonderful poop) Where is Kurt Cambers when you need him.
Blueberry Field
This is looking East of the whole field of Blueberries. There are 210 blueberries planted in there. My brother in law Doug Willig headed up the planting of this whole field. He had a crew of young adults to help out. They were Kyle Lindenmeyer, Holly Cambers and Jake Hightower. Big thank you goes out to all of you.
