I'm hoping that our trees make it. I just need to get them through this long hot summer and I think we'll be over the hump. I wish I could direct you somewhere that has them. I got ours at a local nursery. I just sort of stumbled across them. Good luck!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-90549849883185266872013-07-01T17:15:23.489-05:002013-07-01T17:15:23.489-05:00Just had some mayhaw jelly on some biscuits and MA...Just had some mayhaw jelly on some biscuits and MAN is it good! Jelly is more an apple jelly color but it sure ain't apple jelly. Looking for mayhaw trees to buy and ran across this sight.

Our goal is to eventually sell some stuff we make/grow at the farm so you just might see some jelly and jam (mayhaw and otherwise) for sale up on the products for sale tab. :-) Thanks for stopping by!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-92095498943305430322012-11-26T22:30:17.696-06:002012-11-26T22:30:17.696-06:00Now that's interesting!! yes, they bloom in t...Now that's interesting!! yes, they bloom in the spring and fruit in May. So i guess it is a combination of "may" and "haw" for hawthorne. <br /><br />Yes, i'm afraid black friday is an American exercise in 'excess', if that makes sense. I stay away from the chaos. Heck, most of my shopping is already long done and what isn't will be homemade later.<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words. We are far far from our goal but getting the land was the first step and working on the house from the inside (getting it liveable) was the second step, now working the land is the next phase so we can have our garden going next Spring. I'm humbled by those bloggers that ARE living the dream, Jane at Hardwork Homestead and Dani at Eco Footprint come to mind immediately. Off grid, solar power, the works, they are doing a great job. We'll get there eventually. I might not get us totally off the grid, but I'll do what we can and any little bit that gets us a bit more self sufficient is worth it. :-)<br /><br />1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-62009658735329016402012-11-26T22:15:25.202-06:002012-11-26T22:15:25.202-06:00I would describe it as a sort of cross between and...I would describe it as a sort of cross between and apple and a pineapple, or maybe mango? It's different and very good. I think they can be eaten raw/fresh but I think it's better when made into jelly or wine. We'll see in a couple of years! ;-)1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-47907376990936174092012-11-26T22:11:06.117-06:002012-11-26T22:11:06.117-06:00Ha, I hear ya!

We sometime...Mayhaw - now that sounds interesting. We sometimes call Hawthorn 'May' especially in the Spring time when the blossom comes out. So Mayhaw is a combination of the two names for the Hawthorn. I like that.<br /><br />There was no Black Friday for us so no shopping experience and the shops are closed on Sunday anyway. However . . . The Christmas Markets have started here in Germany so we are happy.<br /><br />One more thing: You are inspiring us with your self sufficiency. That is something that my partner and I have spoken of but meanwhile you are making it happen! It will be a little while yet before we get started but we will get there eventually.<br /><br />Kirk<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642768891794895642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-78147370748731213702012-11-26T09:23:47.832-06:002012-11-26T09:23:47.832-06:00Very nice, Mayhaw jelly sounds interesting, I wond...Very nice, Mayhaw jelly sounds interesting, I wonder what it tastes like.
