Cooooop.

Our Coop.

Built By Badass Craig Johnson

Garden: Round Two

Garden:  Round One is over.  We've eaten all of the broccoli, spinach, arugula, kale, lettuce, and chard, and now we are on to Round Two!

Round Two will include beets, carrots, onions, brussels sprouts, and eggplant.

Beets are in, and the chickens watched!

Chicken Coop: Day One

Yesterday we started building the chicken coop.

First stop: Home Depot

Second stop: Workshop

Craig did the designing.

And some cutting.

And so did Erin!

All the boards are cut, and today we start putting it together!

Also...

This morning Erin and I did our first big harvest.

We cut the arugula!

Before

After

Don't worry.  It will grow back!

We also thinned and transplanted some broccoli.

Stay tuned for Chicken Coop: Day Two!

more weeding

I weeded the back bed today as we are soon going to need to thin out our seedlings.  The arugula, the lettuce and the broccoli rabe are the easiest to see in this wide picture, but the rainbow chard and kale are looking super cute up close.  I'll take pics of them soon :)

these are before and after pics of the back corner.  How 'bout that garden!!  As I was weeding, I came across many a dandelion.  I decided now was as good a time as ever to have my first dandelion salad!!!

ooooo and some wild onions were growing back in that mess too!!!

I read about dandelions on this page.  The salad I made had the greens, the onions, a carrot, and lemon oil honey dressing.

It was mighty strange.  I ate it all.
