| Chickens free-range around the deck. |
This wet, wet week has given us a chance to catch up with a long overdue post! We're enjoying peas and garlic (not together, necessarily), raspberries, cherries, ever-bearing strawberries and garden salads, while blueberries, green beans, and summer's first dill pickles not far away. Chicken manure is composting with straw bedding to give a nitrogen bolt to future plantings, and it's not smelly at all - actually Confederate jasmine and the creamy fragrance of gardenia are perfuming the yard. Hope you enjoy this photo tour!

Sour cherry jam, care for a sample? We made two batches
and canned enough fruit for several pies. |
