Arnold Acres

Hey Everyone! This has to be the day everyone comes out of winter hibernation! All of these signs of spring are here at Arnold Acres today. The pollinators have lots to be thankful for.
If anyone wants asparagus or rhubarb please message me. Next week I plan to come into Syracuse to sell one weekday evening. This is just the beginning of fresh produce for the season.

This saying is so true. Our beautiful earth was created by God. If you want to believe that, read the Bible!

Gotta love our oak trees! Here in southeast Nebraska the Burr Oak is most prominent.

This is what I did as a kid on my Dad's farm. With a John Deere A and 60. They are called Johnny Poppers. Two cylinders with a hand clutch. I know that the worst thing you can do to the soil is to plow and disk now. The smell of fresh turned over soil is great though!

Thought we all could use a little tree humor!

Even though we’re still in the depths of winter, I am plotting a very scary and terrifying schedule😀 Very soon it will be sugaring season and I will have to have my taps ready
Freezing nights and above freezing days is what drives sap up the trees in the very early spring as they ready for budding .
Tapping time comes like a wild horse running through the night and is completely dependent upon the weather.
We are upon that precipice right now and my taps will start running next week
sugaring season doesn’t really announce the death of winter but it is a harbinger for winter‘s death kicks .
This year we will be making hickory, pecan, walnut, maple, mulberry, apple, and pear tree syrups .
Spring is right around the corner for us

Great tool for weeding on beds!

Looking for a perfect gift idea for a gardener? A Hori Hori knife is the tool hardly anyone has, but every gardener needs. It weeds, digs, plants, prunes, harvests, measures and more. I'll show you how to use it and the best you can buy in the comments.
