Gardening Woes

What a difference a year makes! Last year we were dealing with drought conditions most of the summer so I had to water my garden weekly, sometimes twice a week. Flash forward to this year and it doesn’t stop raining! My garden has been under water for most of the last 6 weeks, or basically since I planted my tomato plants. Last year I had lush, full plants and this year my plants are spindly, withering things.

There is no chance at this point of recovering this growing season so I’ll be buying produce from a local farm market stand instead. Thankfully it appears they haven’t had the same water problems I have. If you are in the same position as me, check out Flyte Family farmstands in Mauston behind The Log Cabin Deli, or in Necedah along the river.

I was raised on a dairy farm in southeastern WI. The farming lifestyle instilled in me a hard work ethic and my love of animals. I have been a resident of Juneau County for more than 25 years. My husband and I have 2 kids and a menagerie of pets on our hobby farm. We all wish that the process of buying and selling was seamless but there always bumps along the way. I don't consider myself to be a salesperson but rather a problem solver, I will help you remove those bumps in the road.
