http://blossomingbarnyard.com/planting-peppers-at-vogel-farms

Planting Peppers at Vogel Farms. That day, I would be planting seeds with Mrs. Cabalo. She and her husband, owners of Cabalo’s Orchard, maintain a partnership with Vogel Farms. She demonstrated how I was to prepare a planting tray. Another tray, with 200 planting spaces was then placed in the first tray. Next, holding the two stacked trays over the soil bin, she piled soil on top, and smoothed it into all 200 spaces before brushing off the excess. Seed funnel and chopstick. If we were going to plant 100 ...

Goat, Heffalump, or Salamander? Sewing a Giant Stuffed Animal from Homemade Pattern | Blossoming Barnyard

http://blossomingbarnyard.com/goat-heffalump-or-salamander-sewing-a-giant-stuffed-animal-from-homemade-pattern

Goat, Heffalump, or Salamander? Sewing a Giant Stuffed Animal from Homemade Pattern. A few years ago. My parents bought a yard long stuffed animal giraffe and it has stayed on my bed ever since…except when my sister steals it. In the evening, if I’m not watching, Beth will sneak the giraffe-colored-pillow-with-legs into her room and wait for me to come try to get it back. On weekends, she sometimes asks me to. Her the next morning. Measuring stuffed animal giraffe. Marking pattern on paper. I had to fill...

My First Day At Vogel Farms – Monday Egg Washing | Blossoming Barnyard

http://blossomingbarnyard.com/my-first-day-at-vogel-farms-monday-egg-washing

My First Day At Vogel Farms – Monday Egg Washing. I had been anticipating this day for a couple of months. I was going to help wash eggs at Vogel Farms. Egg cartons on grate. While the eggs soaked in water to soften any dirt on their shells, Mrs. Vogel showed me how to stack the the egg cartons so that we wouldn’t have to pull them apart, thus avoiding letting the clean eggs stack up waiting to be packaged. Then Chris called out that he was starting the machine and the washing began. When I got home, I h...
