Introducing My 1953 Ferguson Tractor

 

 

 Last summer I made a new purchase a 1953 TO-30 Ferguson Tractor.  It is a great tractor starts right up every time, and is made to work.  It is going to make this next growing season so much easier and more enjoyable.  I got to use it this past fall to help plant my garlic, and also got to do some fall clean up by brush hogging the entire property.  The above picture was from last fall, and the hilled rows in the background is one of 3 areas that I planted my garlic.  I purchase a hiller for the tractor that makes quick work of making beautiful tall hills to plant in.  I also have a rear scoop which I was able to use to move around and spread manure.

2021 Plants for Sale

 I have spent a bunch of time over the last couple days working on getting my seed orders together for 2021 seed starting.  Soon before I know it I will begin starting seeds for the next years growing season.  Last year I started more plants than usual to sell in the spring.  This year I plan on doing the same.  

I always tell my customers, if there are some plants that I do not grow which you would be interested, in let me know.  Now is the time to let me know what plants you would like to see me grow this year.  So forget about the cold weather and winter for a little while, and dream about warm weather, and the beautiful garden that you would like to have next year, and what you would like to have growing in it.

You can email me at:  amabars@aol.com

Or text me at: 216-324-1737

Hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
