Radishes!

We are up to our eyeballs in radishes!  And that's some baby swiss chard you see in the corner.....but what to do with all of those radishes?!  Cole slaw?  Fish taco toppings?  They're great thinly sliced on some good crusty bread with butter.  Tonight, we're going to saute some in a little butter and olive oil and see how that is.  But, until we get a coop full of chickens I can feed radishes, I need to come up with some recipes!

We're Getting There....

These pictures were taken a few weeks ago.  At that time, we harvested some radishes (despite having their leaves eaten by flea beetles).  The flea beetles also seem to like our kale so we're not sure how that crop will come in.
Along with the little beet seedlings that are sprouting below, we're getting lots of weeds (which means lots of weeding!).


But we might have some broccoli soon!  Isn't that floret cute?  We're so proud!

Bee Boxes

Our bee boxes have arrived! We just need to paint them and wait for the actual bees to be delivered. Then, we'll sit back and collect our honey. (Not really, they actually require a lot of work but it looks so easy on TV!)
