Welcome!

Welcome to the Frog Hollow Farm blog! I've been blogging since January 2010 and have switched from Blogger to Word Press, but I'm back to Blogger because, for me, it's easier to use. My husband and I live on a little farm in Northwest New Jersey. We have some chickens and a very large vegetable garden with asparagus and raspberries, and rows and rows of sunflowers, snapdragons and zinnias. Traveling, entertaining, gardening, spending time with family, studying Italian, blogging and reading keep us busy and happy. With all of this going on, moving towards a simpler life seems almost impossible but it's definitely a daily goal.

Raspberries and Summer Sundays

Frog Hollow Farm's raspberries are just beginning to ripen in the garden.  Our raspberry bushes take up three rows and are placed between the asparagus patch and one row of blackberry bushes.

FHFB has two varieties of raspberries planted; the traditional red berries and a pretty golden yellow berry.  The golden berries seem to be ripening first, although I did find a few of the red jewels while picking today.

This berry bowl is from a potter in Asheville, North Carolina.  It has holes in the bottom of the bowl and a little dish that it sits on to collect any water after washing the berries.  I love the colors that the potter used in this bowl - all berry colors: raspberry pink,  deep blueberry blue. a dark blackberry purple and green.   


Hope that you are enjoying this holiday weekend.  Join me over at The Tablescaper's Summer Sundays to see all of the wonderful blog posts about what summer means! 

Ciao, bella!
