I’ll spare you my sunsets, but I just have to share the great vintage farm finds that come my way.
Farmhand Ace gave me a gift yesterday to help celebrate our upcoming International Glamping Weekend, June 1 & 2. Why a hose for glamping?
“As seen on TV” is a little joke of ours. The next time you need to emphasize how sure you are of something, just say, “As seen on TV.” Ace also knows how much I love hoses. Hint: Garden hoses test my patience like nothing else.
Do you have a hose that grows? I do. Are you ready for International Glamping Weekend? I am.
Our farm photographer, Louise, digs into her apron pocket …
and pulls out the winner of the book Homegrown Honey Bees … Veronica A. Carter!
Barbara says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” Einstein
Gail Dooley says: Lived on a farm with beehives and enjoyed watching the bee keeper care for his bees and pull out the honey. Would love to learn this art at my own farm now.
Kendra P. Chubbuck says: I’ve been a beekeeper for over 23 years. I learned in a beekeeping class back in 1990 and never forgot it that Albert Einstein said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”
Thank you. Have a wonderful day!
Laurie Dimino says: Yes it was indeed Albert Eisntein who said ” If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.”
What a smart man!
Thanks for the chance to win this interesting looking book!
Hugs,
Laurie
domestic diva says: It was Einstein, but everyone else seems to know that too. 🙂
Christine Hill says: Albert Einstein! And he’s so right. HAIL TO THE HONEYBEE!
Debbie Higgins says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” Einstein
Donna Partridge says: Yes, it was Einstien. Thank you for the book offer.

Jada Edwards says: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” -Albert Einstein 🙂
Alyssa Maldonado says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
― Albert Einstein
Susan says: Einstein?
Kathryn St. Clare says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” ~ Einstein
wendy rogers says: Its the beginning of my grant proposal…the famous words of Albert Einstein!!!
Julie says: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” – Einstein. However, some question the validity of the quote.
Lisa Bagley says: Albert Eisntein said” If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live.” I have had one hive for four years now, and I have enjoyed being a beekeeper. I have a couple of friends who are starting hives this Spring because of the one I started. Maybe next year, a few more will start one, and the year after that, too! My neighbors were a little leery at first, but their gardens thrived because of the bees, and now they all keep birdbaths filled with water for my litte guys! I would love this book! Thank you.
“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live”? Albert Einstein…But did he actually say that…internet is full of differences especially on the 4 year period
Ultimately, whether Albert Einstein did ever discuss about the bees becomes an irrelevant concern in the light of a much graver question, “What should we do to encourage the return of the bees?” Found on Benefits of Honey
Anyway would love to see how it is done…thanks for giveaway.
Stephanie Meek says: “If honey bees become extinct, human society will follow in four years.” Albert Einstein.
“If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!” Albert Einstein
Just starting my beekeeping journey and would love to have more to read!
Michelle Smith says: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!” Albert Einstein! I so want to win this! I’ve been debating jumping into beekeeping!!! <3
Camela says: I believe that would be Einstein.
Kelly Zak says: Albert Einstein is credited for saying: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
Think of all the good things we would lose!
Thank you for the contest!
Janie Manus says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” ― Albert Einstein

Grace says: Would love to add beekeeping to my backyard farm! Love your website and magazine!

Vicki Meeds says: Albert Einstein: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”
I became a bee guardian last spring and am hoping my hive made it through the winter! I will be expanding this year. The book would be a great resource.
Jeffrey says: Albert Einstein said: “If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men!”
I’ve always wanted to start my own hive but I don’t know if I have the space for it, basically if my land is large enough. I absolutely love honey, eat it every day at breakfast and lunch, sometime even more often. Thanks for the opportunity!
jaylyn morehouse says: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” -Einstein
I would love to add to my homesteading book collection! I will have bees someday:)
Veronica A. Carter says: Albert Einstein once said: “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”
Sylvia Long says: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/einstein/bees.asp
It has been attributed to Mr. Albert Einstein, but as snopes points out, there is no historical data for Mr. Einsein saying it himself, though would be demonstrably a crisis if bees were to perish. It was probably attributed to him to give attention to the bee disease crisis. It worked and I suppose that is a good thing : ). Thank you for the chance at the book! It looks great.
Ellen Kraus says: Albert Einstein – “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”
My favorite brain-man with a wide scope of knowledge….listen to him and Darwin !!

This will be my first year as a beekeeper. The hives are ready and the bees are on order. So Excited!
Turtle says: awe bummer, i had it too but see it has been posted numerous times 🙁
“If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.” -Einstein
Patrice Ashton says: Small and tender, or massive and hearty, trustworthy, abundant: the zucchini is my favorite plant in the garden because it grows! It gives! It is versatile! Gently steamed or grilled with burgers, or in a yummy bread or muffin it performs ! In years when the garden is not performing to expectation, the zucchini allows me to feel success.😊
And today we’re ready to pick the winners of the Saverine Creek Heirlooms Jewelry! So Karina reaches into a basket of heirloom popcorn grown here at the farm last summer …
Our winner for the necklace is Cris Cantin! Congratulations!
Cris Cantin said:
I grow many varieties of heirloom vegetables and fruits on my 1/4 acre farmlette: Green Deer Tongue lettuce, Brandywine and Amish Paste tomatoes, Strawberry Popcorn, Duchess apples and Blue Prune plums, to name just a few. This year, I’m trying some new tomato varieties I found through Seed Savers Exchange, and I just ordered some lovely italian-variety zuchinni seeds from Baker Creek-I love that company so much, I bought all my sisters-in-law gift certificates to their catalog this year, and we’re hoping to make a group trip to their gardens and historical village in the summer. I can’t wait to get into the garden, but I suppose I’ll need to be patient until all this snow melts away!
And our winner for the bracelet is Julia Hayes! Congratulations!
Julia Hayes said:
Last year I planted heirloom tomatoes..an early girl variety and heirloom squash. I bought them from Tolstoy farm at the Spokane Farmer’s market. I have a glorious seed germinating shelving unit that Doc made for me years ago. I haven’t germinated my own seeds in a few years. The most predominant reason is that I tend to over plant the darn trays and then I have plants coming out my ears! Seriously, hundreds of tomato plants…2 years ago, I brought the unit out of the barn, cleaned it off and for the entire time one is supposed to sprout seeds, that unit sat in my dining room becoming yet another catch-all for markers, stickers, school work, etc. etc. The kids are super excited about the garden this year so I may haul that thing out again for them to get involved. Selling the extra plants at the farmstand might just be the ticket. Last year the kids pulled in a whopping $51.3 golf balls! It was FUNtastic!!
Cris and Julia, keep your eyes on your inbox for an email from the farm shortly. Thank you to all who entered. We LOVED the comments on this giveaway!!!
And here’s the original GIVEAWAY post dated March 9, 2013:
Gail Dooley says: I am growing my heirloom Big Girl Tomatoes from seed that I purchased from a lady 9 years ago. She has an heirloom seed store at her home. Right now the seeds are sprouting in my greenhouse along with all of my other fine heirloom seeds; my tomatoes being my favorite. Each year the tomatoes produce better and tastier fruit. I continually harvest my seeds from my all of my veggies and flowers and trees. I am planting heirloom squash, corn, peas, variety of peppers and so many more..along with my heirloom flower seeds and acorns and nuts. Love doing this. And would love to win Debbie Groat’s jewelry..so beautiful to wear while watching my garden grow.
Jen in TX says: Last year, I bought my heirloom tomato seeds from Baker Creek. As a novice gardener, it is still a work in progress learning how to best grow tomatoes in this Texas heat. But I’ll try again this year!
Elizabeth Colvin says: What a beautiful piece – well both of them.. The necklace is exquisite….beautiful work
Diane Van Horn says: I grow all heirloom vegetables and I buy my seed from Seed Savers. Since they are all heirlooms, I have been able to save some of my own seed. I grew 5 kinds of heirloom tomatoes and heirloom green beans, yellow beans, red bell peppers, kohlrabi, sugar snap peas, spinach, red cabbage and numerous varieties of herbs. I also am the proud caretaker of 75 year old rhubarb divisions!
Jeanette Calarco says: I grew lots of heirlooms last year, including some Japanese greens that I bought in San Francisco! The gentleman selling the seeds said that they could be traced back one hundred years. I also grew Lillian’s Yellow Heirloom tomatoes, Green Zebra, Carmello, Abe lincoln, Black Krim and many others.
Eva SF says: I had two gardens last year – each one with it’s ensuing hilarity of learning – including the 6 foot tall electric fence (we read the MJF article about 50 times while putting it up) We congratulated ourselves on it’s impenetrability only to have a bunny get under the lowest wire and eat all the green arrow sweet peas (from Seed Savers Exchange) My most exciting item was Broomcorn Sorghum (also from Seed Savers Exchange) – it came up late, but I was able to make a small broom from the small plot of it – I will be planting much more of it and trying my hand at sorghum syrup. Brandywine tomatoes as well as Cherokee Purple tomatoes are a perennial favorite at our house – and we grew those as well – bought at a small flea market from an organic farm.
I grow many varieties of heirloom vegetables and fruits on my 1/4 acre farmlette: Green Deer Tongue lettuce, Brandywine and Amish Paste tomatoes, Strawberry Popcorn, Duchess apples and Blue Prune plums, to name just a few.

Hey Jen in Texas..I envy your heat. I don’t envy your drought. But we sure have a hard time growing sun loving plants in Eastern Washington sometimes! Tomatoes are especially tricky. Some years are great and others, well, not so much!! Good luck.
Gail, your garden and work sound amazing. I’m inspired! I’ve enjoying reading these very much!
Freda Kennedy says: Love it and your mag
Jennifer Hansen says: I am a newer gardener and last year I did not plant any heirloom. However, I just read a story about a variety of heirloom tomatoes called Mortgage Lifter. I will definitely be planting those this year in my tiny raised garden in the city and I plan to peruse the Seed Savers catalog for a few more heirloom vegetables that will work well in Michigan climate.
Kathleen in PA says: I will be growing cherry tomatos again, my neighbor shared some heirloom seeds he has been planting for 30 plus years. Two years ago he won the local farm show tomato exhibit with them.
Nancy Lindaas says: Heirloom Beans, Tomatoes and summer and winter squash! Such amazing flavors!
Cheryl says: Last year I grew heirloom: Brandywine Tomatoes, Cherokee Purple Tomatoes, Kentucky Wonder Pole Beans, Lacinato Kale, Blue Curled Scottish Kale, Dwarf Siberian Kale, Connecticut Field Pumpkins, Early Golden Summer Crookneck Squash, Cocozelle Zucchini, Lettuce Leaf Basil, Elecampagne, Clark’s Heavenly Blue Morning Glory, Valerian, Garden Mix Castor Beans, Milkmaid Nasturtium, Elephant Dill, Mammoth Grey Sunflower & Mexican Red Torch Sunflower. I’m sure I’m forgetting some! This year I got some heirloom: American Purple Top Rutabaga seeds, French Breakfast Radishes, Lacinato Kale, Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce seeds to grow. I purchased all of these seeds from our local heirloom & open-pollinated seed company, Sow True Seeds (www.sowtrueseed.com) and Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds (www.rareseeds.com). I also enjoy collecting seeds- I have some wisteria seeds that I collected from my friend’s vine last year and I can’t wait to grow them! I have a great love of old timey herbs, vegetables and flowers.
jaylyn morehouse says: I try to grow all things heirloom! You just can’t beat the flavors. In my experience, heirlooms seem to resist disease better than most other varieties. If we must intervene with pests, we use organic practices, and it’s usually just a matter of picking them off. Last year some of my favorite heirloom veggies were: Tall Telephone Garden Peas, Lacinato Kale, and of course the Brandywine Tomatoes.
We get our seed through Baker Creek Seed Company and Seeds From Italy.
This year, I have several kinds of heirloom beans that I can’t wait to try, including the Dragon Tongue Bush Bean and the Scarlet Runner Bean (both in Red and Sunset-pinkish color).
Chrissy says: I grew Pruden’s purple tomatoes with seed from Pinetree Seeds. I like that the prices are reasonable and packages don’t have too many seeds, since I garden small. Both pieces of jewelry are beautiful.
Lisa A says: I love German Johnson tomatoes, grow them every year. I’ve tried Brandywine and Cherokee Purple tomatoes. I’ve grown heirloom beets, bean, radish, peas, probably other things I can’t remember right now.
Lisa A says: Oops, forgot to say I usually buy my plants and seeds from a local greenhouse and the Ag Museum that sells seeds from Seed Savers.
Heidi Worthington says: I bought seed from botanical interests last year. I gardened with my in-laws as they are avid gardeners and I have a lot to learn. We planted heirloom tomatoes, corn, peppers. cauliflower, broccoli, and peppers to name just a few. We had a lot of success while learning organic methods.
Antigone reeves says: I planted true heirloom beans, the seeds have been saved for 5 generations in my family, my great-great grandfather brought them west in the late 1800’s and everyone in the family has them in our gardens every year. Not sure what they are but I do know they taste really sweet!
Eileen V Widman says: Oh how I would love and cherish one of these beauties! Last year I grew Rose Finn Apple potatoes and plan to plant them again this year. I also planted Brandywine and Cherokee Purple tomatoes. Golden Zuccinni squash as well as an attempt at Queensland blue. I grew Danvers Half long carrots and Dragon carrots and had great results. I tried Mammoth Red Rock Cabbage but had a bad infestation of cabbage moth. I grew Chioggia beets last year and want to try growing Bulls blood this year. I grew French breakfast raddish and Early Scarlet globe last year with great results so will be going for more of them. I love parsnips and have never grown them before so want to try growing them but do not see a source for organic parsnips in my Seed Savers Exchange seed catalogue.
I am planning on trying beans for drying this year, want to try True Red Cranberry beans and Provider Green beans for canning and pickling. The other things I am growing are several varieties of Garlic including a box garden containing already growing garlic that Mary Jane shared with me. anxious for it to be ready but excited to see how well it is doing so far.
Debbie Stalford says: We grew Heirloom tomatoes, squash, pumpkins and corn. I bought the seeds from an Amish community that I do business with.
julia hayes says: WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU dear dear friends at Mary Janes Farm. Totally made my day. This is just the bit of sunshine I needed…Just having a growling parent morning with my youngest who blows like wind and entirely as she pleases!!! Wind is something hard to harness and contain and so has been my morning..THIS is definitely the bit of magic I needed to shift my point of view..
My love over flows for all that you are and do!! ~julia

Imagine a place where vintage clawfoot tubs rest, chandeliers greet you lovingly from worn wood center beams, and intricately detailed tin ceilings blush with a touch of rust from above.
That place is Magnolia Pearl Ranch and now you can have a piece of it.

This beautiful and lovingly crafted house was the creative outlet for Robin Brown and her husband/business partner, John Gray, and their company, Magnolia Pearl Clothing.
Courtesy of Fiona and Twig. http://fionaandtwig.blogspot.com
Their ranch’s intricate sense of style reflects a colorful and free-flowing Bohemian flair with just a splash of Victorian and a large dose of girly. It’s everything funky, delicate, and artistic.

And the ranch is for sale for $665,000 because she and her partner have moved to another part of Texas to begin fixing up another place. Drool with me here. Did ya know she also has an Airstream? But not just any Airstream.
Gail Dooley says: To be free to express one’s self and live the dream of adventure and to absorb all that is on it. What a wonderful place to be.
Winnie Nielsen says: Now that is one Airstream palace! Totally amazing. Oh the fun and things money can buy!!
Iris Wells says: I’m in LOVE!!! This touches Me Deeply….Soooo Beautiful!!!
Turtle says: wow gorgeous
Robin’s clothes remind me of luxury and comfort…and oh so feminine! I would be so honored and grateful to wear her beautiful clothes. I have fibromyalgia and my skin hurts constantly. I try to wear clothing that is soft and non abrasive. Blessings to you always.
Nancy Sm says: Spectacularly organic looking and stunning. This is the first time I have seen your product and I love it.
I love the look of lace and velvet and all things soft. I like beds you can climb into and then melt away in. There is nothing better than a great bed with the softest egyptian cotton and needlepoint pillows. It is wonderful to be a woman and to be in awe at the way God created us …to appreciate all the beauty in who we are.
Everything is so beautiful and inspiring! I kept the magazines that give a peek at your creations,home,and wedding.
Jo Noon says: PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buy props used in MaryJane’s books and magazine!
5% of profits will benefit www.firstbook.org, a non-profit that provides new books to children from low-income families throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
I don’t have a glamper but who wouldn’t want that cool lime green garden hose for projects?!!That thing is amazingly compact. But it is the color that speaks to me. Very florida Key West looking!
Sounds to me like Winnie needs a pocket hose:) As seen on TV!
Oh my, you touched a nerve with this post. We only have ONE outside hose hook-up for use around the barnyard, my garden AND a flowerbed in front of our home. Consequently, I drag around what seems like a MILE of hose. To say that hose kinks unravel my otherwise calm demeanor is a prfound understatement. I’ve bought a handful of hoses that “WILL NOT kink”. Uh-huh. The last one highlighted that feature on the wrapper and it is THEE worst thus far to kink. Sigh. When you have several yards of hose with a kink in the middle, you can’t just flip it and make the kink disappear. Sooooooo, I walk all the way back and manually undo it…grumbling all the way. It kinks when you drag it, it kinks when you wind it up, it kinks just to get a reaction out of me!
I saw this new pocket hose advertised on TV and just as I was ready to place an order, my husband told me that we don’t have enough pressure to make it work as it ought to. I wilted :o{ BUT, I’m dang shore going to get one for my glamper! Thanks for the tip! HotDiggidyDawg.
I’ve been thinking about these! Do they work?!
