Al's Farm

As long as I can remember the Szklany's have had gardens. From Papi Louie and Gamma Helen, to Uncle Ron, and my family. Some of my earliest memories are in the gardens when we lived in Williamson. However, when we moved to Webster, where my parents currently live there was a battle. You would think on 4 acres one could achieve a successful garden right? Well...there were animals. Animals who thought the planting was all for them. All the grapes, raspberries, apples, and fresh produce one could ever dream of. It was heaven for the animals. Until Farmer Al got serious. Tired of losing all his hard work, he set up The Fortress. A 40' x 100' garden surrounded by...yep you guessed it, an electric fence.
No messing around anymore. All the links are nice and secure.
The fence humms a little tune, a warning song for us and the kids, a song of protection for our sweet fruits, vegetables, and flowers basking in the sunlight waiting to grow.


So far so good, some of the seeds are already popping up! All in a row waiting for their growing orders. Can't wait to watch them, and reap the delicious rewards. All the hard work will finally pay off!


Blessings to you all as you go on your way!
