I feel like this past week in the garden was good, but also a bit exhausting as well. When I first planted the garden in the spring it was exciting, hopeful and new. Now days, I feel like I work at a garden nursery, and there are all sorts of mini projects that need to Read More >>

I tore this recipe out of the June issue of Bon Appetit Magazine, and then promptly misplaced it.

Photo Credits I came a cross a few pictures of ridiculously large vegetables and just had to share.

Back on April 1st, this is what our raised garden beds looked like. There was the beginning of a herb garden, a bed of radishes and some Swiss chard and spinach. Oh what a difference a few months make. Even though there are days I feel totally overwhelmed with my garden and the whole trying Read More >>
