A DOG NAMED "BLU"

RUFF!!!
This friendly "wolf" dog lives on a farm 3 miles down the road.  But, for some strage reason he keeps showing up on our farm!  I'm betting he wants Molly to be his girl friend!

Memories of spring...

"Wow....Strawbeary....we grew these to give away!
Remember this photo???  Its one of my favorites.   These were the tomato plants we were growing to give to our friends at the Wauseon Public Library.   Sure....made some people smile!  So remember to start planning what you want to grow next year.  Even container gardens make life a bit better!  Your Pals Blu Bear & Straw Beary

SELECT SEED SHARING

There will be 5 select seed orders accepted for the upcoming growing season.  Each one will include 3 seeds from our very best varieties including our 4 best baking pumpkins, the heart shaped acorn squash, and the special cross we named Strawbeary.  Also, we will include both the white and orange jumbo Jac-O-lanterns (seeds) that you have seen posted.  These are the prize seeds from the very best pumpkins we grow.  The rest of the seeds from each 1 prize pumpkin must be planted by us bears.  Each season, we pick the very best pumpkin of each variety we grow just for the seed...in hope that it will produce more like it.   The price is $20.00. including priority post. (that costs us about $6)

Also, anyone who would like seeds but can't afford them, we'll do our best to send  you some of each variety that we can spare.  Just Text me at my private bear line...419 388-7089 (this phone never gets voice answered) or e-mail me at Blubearspumpkinpatch@Gmail.com   HAPPY HOLIDAYS  CHO CHOO!

Seed Saving & Sharing

Baking pumpkins waiting to be roasted
Each variety is carefully stored for seed saving.  Once the seeds are removed, we clean, dry and sort them.  Only the best seeds are saved for planting.  the rest go to the chickens and blue turkeys.  B0y they really love them!

We will try to make available a variety pack for anyone who wants one.  The instructions for planting are actually shown in earlier posts.  But, you will be able to join us this spring from the very start, as we grow.  You can post your pictures, make comments, suggestions, or ask for help.  But, to do this, you must join Blubearsgarden.blogspot.com/

Your PUMPKIN PATCH will be alot of fun!  And, since we will include baking pumpkin varieties,  yum....  The details are being worked out.   Anyone who can't afford to buy seeds, but really want to grow a food crop, can count on us bears to do our best to help. 

I'll keep you posted!  If you'd like to get seeds for someone special as a present, just e-mail me, or text me (faster response) and we can figure out a customized gift pack together.

TEXT ONLY @ 419--280-0300  This line is rarely voice answered this time of year (US BEARS ARE GETTING KIND OF SLEEPY!)    Your pal...  Blu Bear & Strawbeary
