This season is busy but not. I'm feeling more inclined to be outside, work in the garden or be spontaneous with the littles than to sit at the computer and tell you (all three of you) about my oh so exciting suburban little life.... and isn't that just how it should be in summer?
Just to let you know all is well, a few updates in images.
The babies have grown up. We gave away three older laying hens, and our cockerel (young rooster) to a nice person who is trying to hatch eggs and needed more hens ... it was a blessing to have found a place where Cuckoo could even attempt to live a life as a real rooster. We wish him well! May he wake other people every morning at 4:45 :-)
The pullets are 11 weeks old now.
First tomatoes (Sungold) and cucumbers (no idea what kind):
The beautiful scarlett runner beans and some eggplant flowers
Just another gratuitous flower picture: My favorite sunset colored rose.
The promises of raspberries and even a handful of blackberries on a vine that seems to be recovering from The Evil Mildew (not pictured).
The red currents that are left are starting to look mighty promising. Sadly have not harvested a single red strawberry (except a lot of wild ones....).
We have harvested a bunch of lettuce, garlic scapes, kale, snap peas and herbs thus far.
And we close with yesterday's ghostly, ghastly visitor: An Eyed Click Beetle!
