Down On The Farm

Oh my goodness, the hot summer temps have arrived here in the deep south. Along with the warmer temps, it's fresh veggie time here too. So, off to the farm we go! Oak Hill Farms is located in Grand Bay, Alabama, and it's a U-Pick farm. If you have never experience a u-pick farm, then you might want to give it a try, it's a lot of fun y'all. All the hard work is done by someone other than yourself, but you still get the fun of pickin' it yourself. Oak Hill, has wonderful prices too. If you live nearby, give them a try, I think you will like what you find there. Mr.CC and I, went out there last week and got 24 llbs. of squash. We worked as a team and put them up in the freezer. Then, after we finished, we decided that we needed more, so back to farm for more. Tomorrow, you can find us back in kitchen, putting the second batch up. Next Spring, when we still have squash in the freezer, we will be happy that we went back for more. Thanks for stopping by folks, it's always nice to have you here at Coastal Charm.

                                      What a pretty site!!!!

                               At 10:30 a.m. it was already HOT!!!!

                                Come on y'all and U-Pick!

                       If pickin' is not for you, then you can still
                       get fresh veggies, you just pay more for them.

                                    Myself, I enjoy pickin' my own.

                                 Today, Mr.CC got us a few bell peppers.

                         Now that's a lot of tomatoes...don't ya think?

                            These should be ready to pick in about 10 days.

                                  Perfect for fried green tomatoes.

                                    They even have sunflowers.

                                  Back at home, we are all ready to
                                         get to work on them.

                             We also came home with some sweet corn
                                            and it was sooooo good.

                         Okay, now you know why we went out to the
                         farm. Our new backyard garden, is growing
                         really slow and we were concerned that we
                         might not get any squash out there. So, it's
                                       best to be safe than sorry.

                               Hopefully, by late July, we will have some
                                   pickin' to do in our own little garden.
