In the Last Month...

I made lemon meringue pie - yum!


We visited Stonehenge gorge style.


I made a few messes.


Planted some melons.


Made baklava with our honey.


Planted a flower box for the chicken coop. Last night a neighbor girl knocked on our door and wanted to know if we wanted to be featured in Hood River's Tour de Coop. I got pretty excited! It'll be May 7th, they usually feature 10 or so coops.



Watched our tomatoes grow bigger. I should have put them outside sooner though, they are having a hard time with all the wind here.


Planted a flat (oops) of green and purple basil. We may have some to share!


Watched our peppers grow - 3 flats :) Lots of hot sauce this year.


I also have a flat of cabbage, broccoli and artichokes going. They too are having a hard time with all this wind. Next year I know to put them out when they are younger. We decided not to get chicks this year :( There is just too much going on with the wedding and the garden and not knowing where we will be living for sure in a year. Relocating 5 chickens is one thing, 15 (and a bigger coop) is another. But someday we will definitely be raising babies and more food for ourselves and friends.
