Pretty platonic radishes are pretty, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. Look! I made exemplary radishes! A late, but bountiful year in our strawberry patch, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. This is one of maybe 30 strawberry plants in the patch. And there are a couple other clusters like this on this plant. When I was growing up we would always have strawberry cake for my sister’s birthday, [...] We’re still here, just swamped with chickens1, turkeys2, goats3, the garden such at it is4, Grandma5, and Oscar6. — 1. Yes there will be broilers, process date June 18. Order form coming … eventually. Another batch will be arriving on the 8th, so ready mid-August. 2. More hatchery drama this year — the [...] I finally (a bit late) nailed down details for the crop planning workshop I coordinated (sort of). Here they are! You should come, and bring everyone! Using spreadsheets for crop planning Workshop led by Josh Volk, Portland farmer http://www.slowhandfarm.com When Sunday, January 30 10am – 1pm Stay after for a potluck lunch! Where [...] I was at the market last weekend hawking chickens, which is always fun, but there are still plenty left. Order now and spread the word to family and friends! Details here: http://www.dropstonefarms.com/2010/08/chickens-round-3-pickup-august-21-23 Order here: http://tinyurl.com/chickens2010-3 Skip the deposit, since the mail probably wouldn’t get to us in time. First the good news! We’ve been getting back in to the swing of things gradually (or abruptly in some cases — when the baby chicks show up at the post office, you’d better be ready!). We’ve gotten rehabituated to the morning routine of opening the greenhouse, watering seedlings, and gathering eggs, and I’m doing [...] Oh no, I just found this post that I wrote last Tuesday (so, still late for week 9) and thought I published, but apparently didn’t! It was late already so I guess a week and two days late isn’t any different from just two days late. — We were out of town this weekend, [...] Still no pictures, as my small camera is full and I am still too scared of the new big fancy camera. We have been talking for years about making meat loaf, which Garth remembers fondly from his childhood. But his mom used the recipe from the back of the Quaker Oats box, and [...] I missed a Dark Days meal this week — not because we weren’t eating delicious local food, just that there was no one big meal, and we were out of town for the weekend. We’re out this weekend too (and the next, ack) but I may write up a generic soup (“Piles part 2″) [...] … another “part 1″ because we eat piles so much, I am pretty sure they’ll come up again. Looking for something easy early last week, I fell back on the category of meals that we call “piles.” Food piles generally consist of leftover meat if there is any, whatever veggies are available, and [...] There are like a half-dozen almost-completed saved draft posts that are now hopelessly out of date. And so it is time yet again for what is now apparently our monthly (ugh) catchup post. We have been going to the Bainbridge Island Farmers’ Market pretty regularly, Saturdays 9am-1pm. Last week we finally had a [...] Every day I think “Oh I’ll blog about this interesting thing tonight,” or I take a picture and fully intend to post it, and every day I do not manage to do so.
