Winter Snapshot

Winter doesn't stop us! Here are the chickens working the rows in the rain.

Here's a snapshot of where the garden was on 12-5:
Row 1 with the first bit of garlic planted.

Row 2.

Row 3

 Row 4

Row 5

Row 6

 

Row 7

Row 8

Rick is glad to be inside out of the rain!

And here's a closeup of the broccoli in row 8. Notice that there aren't any "broccles" happening yet.

Then we got busy! I tossed a bunch of straw around, and made it look ready for planting.

I still have both pens of chickens working the soil. There are no bugs left after our pet dinosaurs forage.

What We're Eating
Lots of homemade bread! This was cooked in the regular oven. It's even more delicious cooked in the earth oven. Also, it's pumpkin bar season, and I need to make about 5 more pumpkin's worth.

Back on the homefront, I made a new window shade.

Isn't this a great shot of the moon?

Saturday was delightfully warm. Seriously warm: 70 degrees in December? Gotta love Chico.

The nice weather brought out visitors to the bar, like Matt.

But we didn't just stand around. RickyC got the rest of the garlic in row 1, and tilled the back of row 5. I put snow peas in row 3 and more Paso peas in row 5. Row 4 has Paso peas that were planted about a month ago. Rows 6, 7, 8, 2, and 3 all have some broccoli, and there's a bit of cabbage in rows 2 and 3. Row 3 front also has the onions.

And, as of just a day or so ago, the broccoli are starting to broccle!
