I caught up with my super nice (wish I got to know her better) neighbor who is moving out of state in two weeks. Her husband’s job is taking them to Idaho. Unfortunately their house has not sold yet.

I’m beginning to think that if I had to grow all our food we would starve to death. Today’s harvest? 2 oz radish, 2 oz lettuce and 1 oz broccoli. Maybe growing 2,000lbs of garden produce is going to be harder that I thought.

I picked up 5lbs of rhubarb at the farmer’s market and canned 3 pints of rhubarb sauce to use this winter. I think I will use it to bake over some chicken. First lettuce harvest of the season. Arbors going up over the gates. I think I will plant them with wisteria. Then we Read More >>

The day kinda went like this.: Mrs. Hillbilly called to tell me about these giant 12 ft trees at Costco she saw for only $39.99 each. She really wanted some for her backyard BUT her husband wouldn’t let her take the trailer because he was afraid she was going to hit something with it. He Read More >>
