Caroline Malcolm commented on Donna Brunson's blog post 'Warm Cucumber Soup?'"This sounds incredibly delicious, and a good way to transition my summer flavors (like cukes) into an early-Fall dish. I am a sucker for anything with balsamic and dill (my favorite), so I'll have to give this a go and let you know how it…"
Donna Brunson posted a blog postWarm Cucumber Soup?
Who knew there was such a thing? The internets knew, that's who! Our two late-planted cucumber plants are producing like gang-busters. And, while I love cucumbers, I can only eat so many cucumber salads. Or cucumber spears. Or cucumber sandwiches. So I was on the lookout for new cucumber ideas. I found this recipe on All Recipes. It looked pretty good. I could get down with some cucumber soup. While the original…See More

Donna Brunson posted a blog postEdible Landscaping
After some discussion, we cut down the two crepe myrtles in our front flower beds. They didn't do anything for us, except look nekked half of the year and shed petals onto the cars the other half of the year. A little bit at a time, we are going to replace our non-edible landscaping with something that we can put into our tummies! In the place of one of the trees, we planted a "tri-apple." Three varieties of apples gafted onto a single trunk. We have a Dorsett Golden Apple, a Gordon Apple…See More
Lauren Klouda commented on Donna Brunson's blog post 'Homemade "Ollas" - the Brunson Farms way'"Those links Matthew are awesome! I saw the the ollas for the first time on a site who's name will remain nameless. Anyway, I thought it was a neat idea but was NOT going to spend $20.00 on anything that I stuck in the ground. My cheap budget…"

Donna Brunson posted a blog postHomemade "Ollas" - the Brunson Farms way
Ara at My Edible Yard discussed using Ollas for irrigation. We were intrigued. We do a lot of watering, especially in the summer. Tomatoes are thirsty. Tim did the research and found that we could buy them, but they were a bit pricey. $20 or more each. Yikes. We starting counting up how many we would need. Double yikes. We have six 8x4 raised beds, and too many pots to count. In one of the…See More
