Sorry about that.

We grew a lot of stuff, took some pictures, posted them on the Internet … and then during prime picking and eating season, our kitchen was completely gutted and remodeled. So the garden kind of fell off the radar. Here’s what we now have to cook in this winter, though:

Definitely worth the 6 weeks without counter tops.

I planted peas at the end of August, and Puck and I snacked on them yesterday. We also have massive collard greens, brussels sprouts, and the cabbages are making new heads after being picked! I’ll work on posting more photos before the snow comes.

Last weekend I was getting kind of sick of our composting system (piling up compost behind the garden and blocking it off with skids so that Puck won’t eat it), and so I built this. It is made out of untreated 1×4 and 1×6 pine boards. Chris treated it with linseed oil after it was built. I picked up the boards in the standard/less than perfect pile for next to nothing at Menard’s last Saturday.

I’ve been neglecting our blog a bit because I’ve been very busy working… and also, we are planning a kitchen remodel this month! This means that during prime canning and freezing time, we won’t have a working kitchen in our house. Hmm. Not sure if that will be an issue or not.

I finally ripped out all of my zucchini plants, and planted peas where they were. Hopefully we’ll have sugar snap peas in September and October, if the frost holds off long enough!
