Black-eyed-Susans, Sage, and Hungarian Hot Wax Peppers
The beautiful chicken coop--finally finished, with a roof, a perch and everything!
Oliver with three of the girls.
Oliver enjoying his pole bean teepee. I think I'll try it again with much taller poles. We planted Scarlet Runner Beans, and the flowers were really pretty. I'm leaving some of the beans on the plants now, and hoping to use them as dry beans.
This was my first year trying to grow beans for drying. It takes so many beans to get just one cup dry! I can't believe how cheap a can of beans is now that I have tried to grow them myself. These are beautiful, though, and I'm hoping they will be extra delicious. It's an heirloom variety from Pine Tree Seeds--I think it's called Jacob's Cattle.
The first butternut squash! And the tomato and summer squash harvest continuing, although much slower now that the weather has cooled and the days are so much shorter.
The nesting box with two eggs ready for collecting! The girls are giving us about 3-4 eggs a day right now. The eggs started out tiny, but are full sized now, and quite delicious.
