The crop protection industry never ceases to amaze me. The big players (manufacturers) in the industry release products for crop protection, these might be herbicides, fungicides, or even insecticides, that aren’t really new products, instead they are a formulation that combines two existing products. I’ll give you an example… Besiege® Insecticide is a popular product […]
Update on Our Backyard Chickens… Wings Clipped, Named, and Tagged.
This past weekend I enlisted the help of a few relatives to assist in catching, holding, and tagging our backyard birds while Donna and I clipped their wings. This poultry rodeo was quite comical but we managed to get the job done a lot faster than I thought we would. We came up w/ some […]
Pruning Tomato Plants for Maximum Yield and Extended Growing Season in My Raised Bed Gardens
Late last season when my tomato plants had almost played out for the season due to some fungus issues that I wasn’t able to control, someone told me about aggressively pruning tomato plants (indeterminate varieties) to maximize yields and extend the growing season by keeping plants healthy and productive. This was something new to me, […]
Why I Grow Indeterminate Tomato Varieties in my Raised Beds…
I like to plant indeterminate tomato varieties because they start growing the minute I transport them outside and do not stop until we have our first frost. Some varieties can grow to become 6′ to 20′ feet tall and will continue to produce fruit the entire growing season. In central Arkansas I’ve had really good […]

My Second Attempt at Growing Sugar Kiss and Honey Kiss Melons
A couple of years ago my mom turned me onto the “sugar kiss” and “honey kiss” melons that would occasionally show up in our local wal-mart and sams club produce sections. These melons strongly resemble a canteloupe –however, they are 10x sweeter than you can imagine and their texture is completely different. I sat down […]
Our 2020 Raised Bed Garden
This was our second year to plant a raised bed garden at our place in Conway. What I lacked last season in production was balanced out with a tremendous amount of education when it comes to “square foot gardening.” Last season I ran into some issues w/ my tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons because of disease. […]
Stay tuned for Storm Stories on Weather Channel this October…
Last month I had the opportunity to spend some time w/ the crew from ‘Storm Stories’ on the weather channel to film an upcoming episode that will feature the Mayflower / Vilonia tornado. Be sure to stay tuned to my social media (facebook and twitter) for episode details, etc. I’m told by the film crew […]
Our Urban Farming Experiment Continues to Take on Wings, Literally… Our Flock of Backyard Chickens!
I guess if you have to pick one positive thing about the whole COVID-19 thing and the subsequent “shelter in place thing”, for me it would have to be the ability to get caught up on thousands of household projects that I had been putting off or thinking about that were still unchecked on my […]
