Home Sweet Home

We just got back from a horrible* vacation only to find the entire garden had been eaten by a band of roving chickens. It took all day and $20 in 'cheater plants', but we got the garden back together. The only things that survived was the onion patch (though one of the hens did manage to trample it pretty hard) and we found two small pea plants that I re-potted in a better location. We decided to give up on spinach for now because the cutworm problem is, well, a problem. In all, I think we might manage to pull a decent amount of food out of the garden this year.

Basil

Peas

Bell Pepper

Cherry Tomatoes

The Onion Nest
*The vacation was horrible because we had some major car trouble that took our entire budget to pay for the repair. We ended up sitting around at Jeremy's mom's house unable to spend a dime. The girls were really disappointed that we didn't make it to Disneyland and the Zoo. We'll try again next year.
