Homeschooling For Him

May. 6, 2009

Garden

     I feel a bit like old man McGregor in Peter Rabbit tales.  I am close to beaing armed and dangerous with those little critters :-)  It looks like the only ones enjoying the broccoli this year is Peter, Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail.  However, we have outwitted them with HisCross's great pea cage he made me.  When the beans and cukes go in over the next week or so, hiscross will have to rig up another contraption for those nummy seedlings, as well. 

     In other areas of my wonderful new raised beds, the Roma tomatoes are in and going strong, Big Boy slicing tomatoes, yellow cherry tomatoes, onions, kale, lettuce (Go figure the rabbits don't eat this!), cilantro, basil, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, jalapenos, red peppers, hmmmm......thinking.....thinking..... drawing a blank on the other couple things in already.  Oh, zucchini, chives, parsley, I think that's it.  I can't wait to start getting whole meals from the garden.  Yum!! 

     Today, TheBean and I harvested more lettuce (romaine, mixed greens, and red leaf), spinach and kale.  Tomorrow we are going to have a yummy salad.  We also picked some chives to add to our butter which we make on Thursday.  We try to make butter twice a week.  In the winter, we like a bit of fresh, raw, local honey to spread on warm homemade bread.  In the summer, however, we like some fresh chopped herbs mixed in.  It just tastes so refreshing on warm homemade rolls or bread. 

     Pictures to come soon.  I think I have it figured out how to do it on the boys computer.  Yipee, pictures again.
