The Herb Garden Cont'd

The lower portion the Herb Bed is planted out with leafy greens. Dino kale inter-planted with leeks. Swiss chard with bunching onions. Cilantro that make the most delicious salsa. More swiss chard, this time planted with carrots. 5 Basil plants. 6 cucumbers - pickling variety and marketmore.

Harvested.

One week after harvest.

Dino kale and leeks. SO DELICIOUS.

The Herb Garden

Each raised bed consists of two sections, and upper and lower. The upper bed was planted out with HALF of a $2 packet of red spring mix, consisting of a red variety of lettuce from the 5 major groups - Butterhead, Crisphead, Looseleaf, Romaine, and Celtuce. We use a bio-intensive gardening method, inter-planted among the lettuce are 3 varieties of radishes and 1 variety of beets.

Just harvested.

One week after harvest. Ready to be cut again.

 

Once a week, regardless of lettuce growth, I cut each lettuce plant back to just one leaf. I prefer to cut the plants this frequently because the lettuce leaves stay smaller, meaning less prep later and 'baby' leaves seem to be more delicious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ol' Red Bess Lays the BLUE EGG!!!!

 EGGs!

I thought my White Americana gave me the blue egg. So today when I got home - no eggs in the lay boxes - I let the chickens out but Ol' Red just chills in the cage, then she jumps into the box. When she comes out I go check. There it was the blue egg! Still warm, having just been laid. So i cracked it right there straight into my mouth, DELICIOUS!! Just kidding.

So right now I get 4 distinctly different eggs. BLUE. GREEN. BIG BROWN. And little brown or PINK, however I think there are two small pink layers. Yesterday, was my first 5 EGG DAY(2 blues)!!!
