What about this: a tribe of asparagus children, but they're self- conscious about the way their pee smells. Asparagus. With Easter around the corner and everyone posting pictures of their crop coming in, I get a little jealous. And a little mad at myself--if only I had started last year! You see, I love asparagus… Continue reading The Vegetable I Wish We Grew

Handing the Garden Over
I'm giving in. I have handed the garden over to the chickens. These past few weeks, I haven't been giving the garden the attention it needs, or that it deserved. I've put at least 1 bushel of tomatoes in the compost, likely more. I've let at least another half bushel or bushel go bad on… Continue reading Handing the Garden Over
Let the eggs roll!

Nothing that would wake you and keep you up. I almost missed it. I almost hoped one of the… Continue reading A Quiet Morning
Birthday Chicken
A year ago today, I was scrambling around my kitchen to finish up potato salad and make cheddar/pepper venison patties for a bonfire that night. I headed out at 12 to go to wine tastings (and wine bottle tastings) with a group of friends. We rode down the road in the Jeep with the top… Continue reading Birthday Chicken
Memorial Day Weekend To-Do List
I'm trying to post and get dressed and get things done all in time to make a cake tasting at 11am. Not much is getting done, I'll tell you that. I want to post about the chickens, and the garden, and the fact that holy crap, I can grow things! But instead, until later this… Continue reading Memorial Day Weekend To-Do List
