Monday Farm Photos: A Peek Inside My Potting Cabinet


A gardening girl can never have too many pots at the ready, right?











Every time I look inside this cabinet I smile.

I Love Old Stuff!

© FarmgirlFare.com, the stuffed to the gills and ready for bed foodie farm blog where the first BLTs of the season (made with bacon saved specifically for this momentous occasion from the hog we had butchered last year, and served on freshly baked Farmhouse White of course) combined with freshly picked sweet corn purchased today from our Amish vegetable connection and a much needed (and wonderfully cooling!) late afternoon rainstorm all add up to one very nice summer day indeed.

  1. Even your potting cabinet is picturesque! I love the pots, and it's about time we saw more of your cool collection of stuff and things.

    btw, my captcha is "doonions" - Hmmm. Do you have onions to check in the garden? I need to check mine in the dehydrator.

  2. Where do you keep your potting shed? The cupboard looks like one I inherited from my grandmother which I keep in the garage and is full of plant insulation blankets. Love your pots. I also have an abundance of pots, some so nice that one doesn't want to get rid of them.

  13. First time visit. I love your blog and the whole idea of what you have done. I never went there, but still picutre myslef on a farm with lots of animals.

    I found you by googling images of a hen with chicks. If I link to you, would you mind if I use your photo of the check with its mom in a post?

  14. Hi Everybody,
    Thanks for all the comments. I'm so glad you're enjoying the new vintage side of Farmgirl Fare! My apologies for taking so long to reply here.


    Hi Patricia
    This potting cabinet stands next to my potting bench, which is tucked under the side eave of a little wood shed/garage Joe built about 9 years ago. It's a few steps from The Shack and The Cat Cabin.

    Joe built the potting bench (which is essentially a long work counter) for me not long after he finished the shed, and I love it. He even hung it from chains in such a way that you can fold it up against the wall which is really cool, but of course it's always so covered with stuff that never happens. The only thing is, it's built from rough cut lumber which has started to warp quite a bit.

    Until I can get Joe to build me some sort of actual potting shed (where I can keep my stuff totally protected from the weather - and display more of my vintage garden treasures) it still works fine. And as you can see here, I'm not the only one who gets plenty of use from it! :)

    Hi Barb and Josie,
    The BLTs were so good we had them for dinner the next night, too!

    Hi TM,
    I'm so glad you enjoyed the Mexican Jumping Bean Slaw and the Lamb Burgers with Red Pepper, Parsley, and Olive Relish (isn't that stuff addicting?). And on homegrown lamb burgers - yay!

    As far as kimchi goes, I'm sorry to say I've never made it - and I'm not sure I've ever even tasted it (though I do know what it is). I'm envious of all your garden cabbage, though! :)

    Hi PSHT,
    Thanks for asking about using one of my photos in a post on your blog. I already emailed you directly, but in case anybody else reading this is curious, you (and anyone else) are welcome to use one of my photos on a non-commercial, personal site if you 1) credit me for the photo and 2) include a link back to Farmgirl Fare in your post. But I do appreciate being asked first. Thanks! :)

December 2015 update: Hi! For some reason I can't figure out, Blogger hasn't been letting me leave comments on my own blog (!) for the last several months, so I've been unable to respond to your comments and questions. My apologies for any inconvenience! You're always welcome to email me: farmgirlfare AT gmail DOT com.

Hi! Thanks for visiting Farmgirl Fare and taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love hearing about your experiences with my recipes. Comments on older posts are always welcome!

Please note that I moderate comments, so if I'm away from the computer it may be a while before yours appears.

I try my best to answer all questions, though sometimes it takes me a few days. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your e-visits to our farm!
