Central Connecticut -
Most of our vegetables are in the ground - tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, zuccinni, carrots, radishes, spinach, lettuce, green beans.
Garlic up and almost ready to harvest (June).
Strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries ready to pop.
Just put in another 8x4 box garden for more herbs.
Also picked up two new chickens to replace the one we lost at Easter (no, we didn't eat her, they are layin' hens. With names.)
I’ve eaten laying hens. With names. ;)
Fond memory? I grew up in inner-city Milwaukee, WI. My Grandma watched me during the day while my folks both worked. Going to the Municipal Market (Farmer’s Market that was open all the time) with Grandma was always a treat, especially when she’d buy a live chicken.
“Now don’t get too attached because we’re having roast chicken for supper!”
You can take the girl off the farm, but...
Miss you, Grandma! *HEART*
