How does your garden grow?

In case you've been wondering how my garden has been doing....




It's doing great! I'm concerned with the bugs that have recently invaded since things are beginning to grow, but I'm hoping things will survive. I ate my first bean yesterday and it tasted like sweet success. I may have to get the chickens to spend a little while in there during the day to get those pesky bugs, but that would mean I would have to sucessfully corral the chickens over to the other side of the yard, through the fence and over the garden barrier. This is a difficult thing to do because I have renegade chickens. They spend most of their time getting the bugs out of my neighbors yard. However, I can't say I blame them- If I had a large dog and crazy 3 year old boy chasing after me I'd spend my days in the safety of the neighbors yard too.

Here is a picture of how the chicks have grown. They are about two months old...

Back in the saddle.

I took a break from the internet during Lent and am now back....though I'd like to keep the time I spend surfing the web to an absolute minimum. I spent much more time reading, playing and hanging out with my little man and loved it ( I don't think people.com or facebook missed me too much!). So just a little catch up on the last month:
1. On April 11, 2011 we started Whole30
2. On April 24, 2011 we had Easter Dinner and screwed it all up.
3. On April 27, 2011 the leftovers are gone and we are back on Paleo.

I've tried some new things recently thanks to some of my favorite websites:

Sausage N' Cabbage Noodles with fried apples


Mango Gazpacho Soup

Zucchini Pancakes


Salisbury Steaks

Sun-dried Tomato Chicken Salad (with a few personal tweaks)
