Check out the unusual winter squash we grow

US BEARS GROW SOME NEAT LOOKING PUMPKINS

These are all edible and delicious "pumpkins"  The two color squash you see is probably one of the most unusual acorn type we've ever bread.  We hope that its seed will produce the same colors next year so we can add it to the list of yummy varieties that we call our very own.  We always share seed at no charge to anyone who promises to share the harvest with others, especially those in need.

We now have three distinct baking type winter squash that we have created here on the farm.  We only save seed that produces well, and both excels in taste and beauty.  Can you think of a name for this new acorn type squash?  Let us know if you have an idea.  I love to bake these and make pumpkin bread, pies, & pancakes.  But, they are great plain with a little butter, salt & pepper.  Or, brown sugar & spice!  Do you have a favorite recipe???

Love always  Straw Beary

SUDDEN SNOW STORM STRIKES

First Snow Comes Early

We weren't quite ready for the cold and snow just yet, but mother nature gave us a very early surprise!  I guess we can't complain.  Compared to some other states that got up to 5 feet of snow, this dusting is more than enough for November.  Now it is easy to understand why us bears like to hibernate for the winter!!! KEEP WARM  your pals  Blu Bear & Straw Beary

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. Gerken !!! Three generations on this farm still growing strong !!!

His son (Farmer Larry) and grandson 2013

With out Lawrence Gerken and his family, us bears have no idea where we'd be!  The help you and your family have given us over the past few years have really made a difference in so many peoples' lives.  So, from all of us "Bears" HAPPY 87the BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!    From  Bobbi Jean, Randy, Blu Bear, Straw Beary, Ike, Mikey, Field Reporter 0'Beary, Transportation Manager Chu Choo, and everyone at Blu Bears Garden.  May you have many more!!!

FRANCE TAKES THE LEAD !!!

Blu Bear & Straw Beary Get Ready For a Road Trip

Us bears really love all the attention we've gotten over the years, and France has now set the record for visits  to Blu Bears Garden at the same time!  So, for the 261 visitors from France,  THANK YOU!   We really hope you will follow our next year.  And for you new readers, we are a small farm in north west Ohio U.S.A. that is run by a motley crew of stuffed bears.  We grow specialty produce for food banks and any one in need.  We raise chickens (eggs) and have a dog named Bear and a cat named Trouble!  As the Holidays rapidly approach, we'll have to make a new Christmas Card Photo.  This is my favorite from the past.

All the Bears love Ho Ho Trees

Sraw Beary

Thankyou Poland for joining us as readers of this blog.  Of course, you have to start back a year or two to get the full view of life on our farm.  It's not often that a farm is ran by a bunch of bears, but we love it!  And, most of what we grow goes to people in need.  From all of us bears... WE LOVE POLAND!!!
