Zoe: No low grade fever and 2hrs of sleep is going to keep me out of the garden.

A little late with garlic planting but some exciting things going in the ground. A Spanish garlic from Jeff McCormick which he says is the longest storage garlic he's ever grown. A Chinese pink garlic which is the earliest garlic I've ever grown. And 3 cloves of an Irish garlic that a coworker gave me! Plus the standard German Red, Inchellium, Elephant Garlic and Shallots (original stock @sowtrueseed but been saving my own for a few years now)! Thankful for the live in labor force.

So, this year it looks like I published a book and continued my obsession with okra 🙂 I'm suggesting people buy my book and give it to an okra hater. PM for payment details and mailing address!

As the new duck house takes shape, I'm left asking a very important question: Living roof or metal roof?

Also, chicken on the left is called Chuck, the chicken duck, because she thinks she's a duck. Emily rejects this name and calls her Ansley.

When your children have mad cows disease then it's time to hat up and go outside.

Chicken feet from our chickens. A pig's leg from @diloreti before he escaped to Italy. Beef bone scraps from @earthfare. These things are considered waste products by many, but today they will become a rich and nourishing bone broth.
