Tomato Juice at Kelley's Dairy
My wife, Glinda ,and her sister, Mary, spent the morning canning these 23 quarts of fresh home-grown tomato juice for their brother, Donnie. I hope he appreciates their efforts.

Naked Ladies Near Norwood
These "Naked Ladies" were spotted in my daughter's front yard. I think they are called "Naked Ladies" because they come up with no foliage and because they are such a delicate shade of pink.

Kelley's Dairy Vegetable Harvest
Mary and Glinda put in quite a few hours today canning these green beans. They sure will taste good when the snow flies but right now we have plenty for fresh eating and for sale.
This is what Glinda has picked for one vegetable buyer that is coming this evening. She has this many tomatoes in the house to work up as canned tomatoes or tomato juice tomorrow.
We are starting to get cucumbers from the second planting and the first is about gone. The first planting corn is perfect for eating and Glinda has been storing a lot of it and I have been eating 5 to 7 ears each night. We need to hurry with the first planting of corn because the second planting is coming on very soon.
I will be planting more cucumbers and lettuce and radishes very soon.

Kelley's Dairy Hibiscus
Thought I would share Glinda's Hibiscus. They sure are pretty early in the morning but the July sun tends to wilt them down in the late afternoon. I had to take these pictures at 7:00 a.m. to get them at their best.Cheerily

Vegetables for Sale
Glinda's Garden Veggies
Glinda now has fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, green beans (yellow variety), corn on the cob (still in the husk) (variety - Bodacious) and various varieties of hot peppers for sale. Call for pricing and appointment. Will not be picked days ahead of time thereby ensuring freshness.
The photo below is "Flossie" picking the season's first ear of Bodacious corn. Once you have eaten Bodacious sweet corn all other varieties taste like field corn.

Zinnias at Kelleys Dairy
Zinnias are an old flower. You have to start them every year from seed. My Great-Grandmother, Ola, "Ma" , (Owens) Kelley used to raise them every year in beds that completely surrounded the house. I had not thought of them for years until I ran across seeds for sale in a seed catalog. Plant places never have seedling "Zinnias" so we started growing our own plants. Sure glad we did as I enjoy them greatly. I can never look at a Zinnia without thinking of Ma Kelley and thinking of her always brings back pleasant memories. I may owe my passion for flowers to her as I can always remember how good it smelled around her house in the summertime when I would stay the night and get to help (watch) her water and take care of her many flowers.
