Successfully mastered broccoli

Last summer we had trouble growing our broccoli. Started from seeds in the garden, the broccoli never realized it's full potential. However, this year we have successfully grown two broccoli plants and will be consuming the fruits of our labor tonight for dinner. I'm thinking roasted broccoli over pasta would celebrate this most delicious veggie success.

Harvesting the Summer Wheat

Papa Steve agreed to grow organic wheat for our project this year. He grew a few acres of wheat under no spray conditions. Papa Steve had also just purchased a new combine and offered everyone a ride in his buddy seat. The wheat ground up beautifully and made superb bread.

Papa Steve will be saving three hundred pounds of wheat for our two families and selling the rest as animal feed. While I'm happy that he will recoup some of his money on the wheat, I feel that it is a shame to see such high quality stuff sold as feed.

Corn and Beans

The sweet corn is taller then the two of us and has began to developed small ears. However, I still could not wait for the corn to mature and bought some wonderful sweet corn from our neighbors. Instead of corn we have zucchini, greens beans and

peas ready to harvest.

Every day is an easter egg hunt

Now that temperatures are in the upper 80's the chickens have become increasingly more aggravating. Looking for a chill and breezy new nest the chickens are nesting everywhere but in their coop.

You Dig?

Our little new potatoes became a lovely father's day gift. Unfortunately now our potatoes have out grown their cute new potato stage and have matured into full sized spuds.
