Behind the garden gate…

I’m beginning to think my chickens are overweight…
They’re looking rather plump these days…

Or maybe it’s because I’d really like to see the freezer stocked with chicken…
Hmmm….

Well…
I think they’re safe… for now…

I’d rather have farm (okay suburbia) fresh eggs any day of the week than a chicken bbq…

4 chickens = 10 eggs in 3 days…
Not bad ladies…. not bad…

In other home and garden news….

I planted the first round of beets…

I like to plant them about a month apart…

Right up until August….

Since we have eggs, english muffins and canadian bacon in the refrigerator… I’m thinking eggs benedict for Sunday breakfast is in order… topped with garden fresh chives of course…
Does anyone have a good recipe for hollandaise sauce?

I was getting a little nervous about the peas I planted a few weeks ago… none of them have poked through the soil yet… so I dug one up… Yeah… it’s alive!

And since they’re starting to spout (and not rotting like I feared) I decided it was time to go ahead and plant round 2 of the peas… this time Snow Peas… (a gift from my sister)… I heart snow peas… they’re perfect in stir fry… (and so is chicken for that matter)…

Now all I have to do is wait…
Spring is here people…. spring is finally here…
