Fall Fermenting With Pictures!
I purchased Sandor Katz’s The Art of Fermentation and I have fallen in love with fermenting everything. Well, I have stopped at fermenting the dogs. Pickles, relish, I’ve even started doing naturally fermented root beers…have I mentioned that I love fermented stuff? Oh, I see I have. I just looked back over my … Continue reading
My “Earthday” Post
First let me say, that we believe that everyday is the Lord’s, every breath, every movement, every thought ought to be taken captive unto our Lord Jesus Christ. But someone determined that we ought to be calling certain days belonging to certain celebrations. But no matter who or what we say we celebrate, whether it … Continue reading

See You At State Fair!
I can hardly believe that it is State Fair time already! Wow what a summer we’ve had. I meant to make a post and call it, “Haying Season, It was the best of times and the worst of times”. But then haying season was long since gone and the post rather stale. Maybe when I … Continue reading

The posts went up over the course of a couple of weeks, the pauses were for large dumpings of rain. Rain … Continue reading
Postcard From Vicktory Farm & Gardens
Imac picked the theme for this week’s challenge. Did he say it was going to be easy? Perhaps not, maybe that is what Dave said last week. But it probably was easy for him, maybe easy for the others as well, but not for me. Make sure you go see what they came up with … Continue reading
Sanguine
A word mostly used to describe a personality type these days, but its origin is “of blood”. Which is what I most often identify the word with because of my earlier days as a nursing student and then a nurse, making chart notations about sanguineous fluids. Blood. It was my choice for the header challenge … Continue reading
Big Bird Goes to the Fair
Tom, FishingGuy Tom, chose “Big Bird” for this week’s Header Challenge theme. So I thought I would oblige him with a straight up photo! No shenanigans, just a big bird from the Farm. Speaking of shenanigans and big birds…. Did you know that Big Bird, Sesame Street’s yellow fellow, is made with turkey feathers? It’s true. And … Continue reading
Space Race
This week’s theme,“Space Race”, for the Header Challenge was chosen by Mr. Frost, Gailsman. Since we don’t build rockets of the aeronautic type here on Vicktory Farm & Gardens, I thought I’d feature a rocket and pilot of another sort. Just up the street, our little local fair, Lacamas Community Fair, ran this last weekend. … Continue reading
