More to come soon!

Not sure what kind of moth this is, but it was huge!


Above is a couple of shots of the new patch that we dug up, which ended up being a little bit bigger than already established veggie patch. So far we have corn, pole beans, squash, pumpkins, sunflowers, beets, and chard planted in there. We will also be adding bush beans, tomatoes, dill, and cilantro. If we have enough room we might add some other herbs and veggies.


We have been harvesting lots of greens, radishes, carrots, beets, and herbs from our other patch. We have allowed some of our spinach and radishes go to seed and will be hopefully collecting those soon.
The Yellow Pear tomatoes have really grown and have plenty of more blossoms on them. No fruit showing yet though.
Our peas our growing nice and tall and the Laxton's Progress is flowering.
The garden sage is also flowering.



And all of our chamomile too! It is time for me to harvest it and I will definitely be making more of the oil that I did last year.
Sláinte!

A lot has happened since I posted last. Aymi is visiting {yay!}, I went to testify at the pre trial, it looks as if both of my Grandparents might pass very soon, and the routine events of a quasi-homesteader. I am obviously very sad about my Grandparents, but they both have Alzheimer's and after being married for 67 years, it is perhaps suitable for them to pass around the same time. They have had a great life and they will be missed. I am lucky that I live near where they are and can visit regularly. The whole court thing has been very surreal and a weird mixture of pain and closure. He was there and doesn't seem the least bit remorseful. So that makes in easier it a way to go through with it. Aymi and I are going camping this weekend {just in time for Midsummer!}, which is supposed to also involve white water rafting {!!!}. I will do garden updates soon. I probably won't be posting before Midsummer, so I hope you all have a great one! :) For recipes you can check out the post I did last year and below is a video on how to make daisy chains to wear for the day. ;)
