E3

We follow what I like to call the 3 E's of Home Farming, or just E3...

1)Enjoyable - meaning if it is something you love growing.
2)Easy - So many foods are easy to grow.
3)Expensive - If it cost $$ in the store, then grow it at home!

When just starting out, many ask me how I decided what I should grow. Well, there it is -plain and simple. As each year goes by, we add more and more to our list.
I also highly recommend fruit trees!!

Hot chicken salad...


Hot shredded chicken and cranberries in a honey garlic vinaigrette over mixed fresh greens. YUM!

The pic is a bit blurry, sorry!

I new meaning to Victory Gardens...

I am declaring Victory!
I think we have managed to over-plant, over-coffee ground, out-mulch the snails! I was determined not to use toxins of any kind, and I believe we won.
Persistent though they were for some time, their numbers are dwindling.
We are a true victory garden now!

The bush beans are taking off like crazy, and we may even have enough for some pickling soon.
