A new friend mentioned that she had a bunch of chickens, and more eggs than they could use. I jokingly (?) said I would gladly take them. I have a kid that would eat scrambled eggs every day of the week if we made them. So she invited me to stop by and get some, and she wasn't kidding. I left with eggs by the two dozen, and that barely dented the collection in the fridge! Of course, I was as excited about the pictures I could take with these lovely little gems as I was at the prospect of fresh, free range, free eggs!! And as I was contemplating photo ideas, I remembered that I had recently found an abandoned nest on the ground. (There are also brown and beige eggs.)
Last year, I made some effort (not thoroughly successful) to capture state-of-the-garden pictures every month, including panoramas stitched together on Photoshop, in order to get the whole view of what's happening. So here's a little recap of the garden in 2023! early March April May June August It appears that I missed July, and either didn't take or didn't save this project in September, although we didn't have a killing frost very late into the season - we were still harvesting a few things in October. As much as I loved the lettuce that was growing in the tunnel, and getting an early start on a few things, I'm not a fan of plastic anywhere, especially in my garden, so I am looking at options - cold boxes with old windows, etc. I'm planning to start my 2024 garden this month - pea planting, planning, and seed starting in March! What are you planting?
There is nothing I like more than fresh eggs, Karen! I would have chickens if I could! I love the blue color!
