Nerdin Gardens: Simple Scentual Pleasures  Ever smell the heady aroma of freshly crushed tomato leaves between your fingers or the fragrance of a lushly sweet cantaloupe ready to be harvested?

Nerdin Gardens: Standing Up Bright  This single red rose stood up bright in the garden. A quick glance caused my heart to startin’.  At once your presence became well known, that familiar aroma, what was your own.  The breeze stirred up, carrying it away. Hope you again pass this way someday.  Red roses were my mother's favorite flower and we planted them in Nerdin Gardens as a reminder of our love. She occasionally makes a brief appearance and then quickly spirits off to parts unknown.  I miss you mom. ​  Looking for an experienced Realtor that will go to work for you?

Nerdin Gardens: The Spirit of Cooperation  When harvesting Muscadines in Nerdin Gardens, I found myself dodging yellow jackets, wasps and honey bees at every turn. While they dove toward me and after several attempts to cut free the deep purple orbs of deliciousness, a different strategy had to be implemented. Most bees will die once they sting. Not wanting to end their cycle, I said to them, “In Nerdin Gardens, we appreciate the life you bring to us every growing season and we are more than willing to share.” Once they knew that no harm was meant, that we wanted to enjoy the fruits of our labor as well, they suddenly went about their business.  We were all working side-by-side toward similar goals. Once that was understood and respected, the spirit of cooperation came fully into play. ... 09/17/2020

Nerdin Gardens: By The Seeds Of Our Plants.  A strong work ethic matters when growing a garden. There are no days off unless inclement weather threatens, pushing everyone indoors, but even then, the most dedicated will ensure all chores are done before doing so.  There are only three seasons for avid gardeners: Before harvest Harvest and After harvest  This means much patience in waiting for what was put in the ground to come up vertically. Planting requires being on time, every time or be late in everything and nature strongly disagrees with loosely laid plans. We continuously reap a bountiful harvest, by the seeds of our plants! Happy gardening all.  Looking for a top producing Realtor that will go to work for you?

Nerdin Gardens: Making a Beeline!  Honey bees consistently utilize their time expeditiously during daylight hours by seeking out flowers to collect food for the survival of the hive. Worker honey bees have a life span of six weeks so it is imperative they make the best use of time to benefit the colony. It is fascinating to watch them 'dance' around the center of flowers, collecting nectar as the pollen sticks to their saddlebags. No time for dilly dallying, just a strong work ethic instinct en-grained to achieve the goals set forth. So, next time you see one, just let it be. It might be making a beeline back home, where we all want to be at the end of the day, right?!  Looking for a top producing Realtor that will go to work for you?

Nerdin Gardens: A Pro Preyer  Nothing amateurish comes to mind when thinking of these stealthy creatures. Every move is carefully planned for maximum gain. Never straying far from its perch, the praying mantis declares its territory, unchallenged. Exuding the patience of a saint, while remaining perfectly motionless for extended periods of time, guarantees a meal is within short reach. Its long spindly raptorial forelegs are mainly used for grasping unsuspecting prey. Happy to glimpse these wondrous living beings, though they spot me long before I notice them. A home garden's friend, they are a welcome sight and glad they feel at home just hanging around. Happy gardening all! The mantis's work ethic is similar to good real estate industry practices. Ensure that every step you take towar... 08/21/2020

Nerdin Gardens: We Wet Our Plants  My husband and I pulled a record amount of produce from Nerdin Gardens in several hours one day. It is time consuming, especially when picking the Sweet Million cherry tomatoes. These bushes are heavily laden with these tiny clusters of flavorful orbs! And then there are santaorange roma tomatoes, heirloom and early girl tomatoes, midnight snacks, citrusy lemon cucumbers, straight eight cucumbers, crook-neck squash, zucchini, green chilies, jalapenoes, dwarf green peppers, sweet red peppers and more... We were so excited over this abundant harvest that we both wet our plants! My thoughts: Successful gardening and running a thriving business means a grateful and thankful spirit for accrued abundance, being prepared for leaner times and maintaining a hea... 08/10/2020

Nerdin Gardens: All Our Maters Matter  Some top producing, attention seekers have been creating quite a stir by vying for the coveted #1 spot in Nerdin Gardens. The all-star line up sports a wide array of tastes, weights, colors, compact or rotund, round and oblong.  The competition is fierce with capable challengers, playing to strengths rather than their opponents weaknesses. No two are alike, each offering up a delicious flavor-packed punch, targeting the taste buds after hitting the tongue.  In the left corner, we have:Roma Tomatoes - Most popular in Italian cooking, especially in sauces, these tangy, oblong fruits are very red or bright orange in color, also great in salads and canning because they are meaty and full of flesh. Very deserving of the Big Acid Award! In the right corn... 08/08/2020

Nerdin Gardens: A Shy Sunnyface Fearful that all the other garden flowers would outshine her, Sunnyface hid among the large, tri-lobed leaves, refusing to fully show.   Thinking if she waited long enough, all the other gorgeous blooms would wither, allowing her to present quite spectacularly.  Day in, day out, she expectantly peeked from the hiding place, only to spy new blossoms taking the place of older ones.   Nature continued performing the cycle of life, bud to bloom to seed. Due to constant worry, Sunnyface forfeited her intended potential. Her petals, once a vibrant, resilient yellow lost their hue, the edges turning a softer shade, curling away, the finality from life to death.  Moral of the story: Avoid allowing fear to be a guide and worry less when planning to make an impact.... 08/06/2020

Nerdin Gardens: While Harvesting Hollyhock Seeds...  Hollyhocks are a Nerdin Gardens favorite, among many flowering plants and can reach 10 feet tall with blooms that travel upward, along the stalks. After cycling through their growing season, I gather the dried seed pods to plant, once springtime again arrives.  While diligently using the grab, squeeze and pull method, suddenly I felt to be the target of a most watchful eye. Perched high upon the next plant over, remaining absolutely motionless, a Praying Mantis diligently worked to achieve the day's food goal. They are very welcome and a natural resident of our back yard garden. I respect their boundaries and am in awe of the work ethic they possess. For them, it's not a choice, if they fail to accomplish the tasks set forth, it could... 08/05/2020

Nerdin Gardens: Orange you glad?  While red is a typical color for most ripe tomatoes, these brightly hued fruits are just begging for attention! Santorange Roma Tomatoes are crunchy, orange, plum or grape shaped, with excellent taste.  Fantastic on sandwiches or in a dinner salad, they are amazing in any spaghetti sauce as well. We are excited to grow them in Nerdin Gardens along with many other varieties that aim to please the palette. So, orange you glad to know more about these Santorange Roma Tomatoes?

A Southern Utah Sunset Worth Tweeting!  Just as I was ready to snap the shot of the sun descending behind the mountain range along the horizon, a quick fluttering took place.

Nerdin Gardens: Fill fulling the goals set forth.  Nature instinctively moves forward, whether a beautiful Monarch Butterfly collecting pollen, satisfying its hunger before moving on to a final destination or a Pumpkin vine, sprawling out about the ground, ensuring fruition. Though impediments present that hinder progress, adapting and adjusting is necessary to fulfill the set goals. No excuses, just the need to succeed. What would the industry be, if all professionals had such a focused mindset? A furiously fluttery flitterer frantically forwarded, fill fulling it’s fancy. ~ Wanda Kubat-Nerdin 07/27/2020

Nerdin Gardens 2020: Teeming with Productivity As tenured, back yard gardeners, we gladly take on the responsibilities of ensuring all processes and systems are in place for success. Tilling, enriching the soil with nutrients that will last the season long plus placement, matters.   Every year comes with a set of challenges like weed control, adequate pollination and weather conditions. Taking the natural approach regarding harmful pests rather than using questionable, harmful chemicals is best.  The results are most amazing and fruitful. Plant material is healthy, producing at a steady rate from garden bed to table top. Fresh is best with zucchini, crook neck squash, peppers to several varieties of tomatoes.  Many creatures are most welcome to reside in Nerdin Gardens during the summer... 07/17/2020

When a Southern Utah Wildfire Comes Raging!  It's one thing to write about how to prevent a wildfire but quite another when at your front door. Late yesterday afternoon and into the night, a wildfire raged through the town of Veyo, consuming all it it's greedy path. Our neighbors frantically loaded up their families, cattle, horses, turned their goats loose in an effort to outrun the destruction. Thankfully, due to the concerted firefighter effort, by land and sky, the threat was maintained. Living through a tornado was nothing compared to the terror I experienced yesterday, not knowing if our home and valued possessions would be turned to ashes. As I drove down the highway to safety, the tears flowed freely. The wind changed directions at the last moment right across the dirt road from... 07/14/2020
