		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s been quite a while since we&#8217;ve posted anything.  We&#8217;ve been busy:
1. Starting a new business.
2. Raising over 300 plants from seed for the garden (in our tiny little kitchen).
3. Successfully rehabilitating a Little Brown Bat (in our bedroom).
4. Watching an Eastern Phoebe couple raise their chicks right outside our back door.
5. And enjoying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a lovely fall day today, and it&#8217;s time to plant next year&#8217;s garlic crop.  We saved some garlic heads from this year&#8217;s crop and I&#8217;m anxious to see how well they dried and cured.
First, I have to scrape off the straw mulch and do a bit of weeding.
I like to layout the planting [...]]]></description>

But that&#8217;s officially what a &#8220;peck&#8221; is.This year we grew Gypsy (sweet), Anaheim (mildly spicy), Salsa Delight (spicy) and TAM jalapenos (not as hot as regular jalapenos, &#8217;cause we&#8217;re pepper wimps).
Last year, we roasted and canned a lot of our hot [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite fall vegetables is butternut squash.
We start the plants from seed in the spring and let them sprawl all over a straw covered bed in the back of the garden.  These are the variety &#8216;Waltham&#8217; from Johnny&#8217;s Seeds.
I think baby butternuts are so cute.
Midsummer, the squash look like this.
They are ready to [...]]]></description>

Time to do some canning.
First, cut off the greens.  Leave a couple of inches of stems attached.

So, how to use them up? They don&#8217;t freeze well, and we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think one of the best things about growing tomatoes (other than eating them, of course) is the myriad of shapes, sizes and colors.  Each has its own unique quirks and personality.

Some are perfectly round.

Some are Short Round.

Long and fat.

We have hearts&#8230;

plums&#8230;

and just downright ugly.
Maybe one of these days, I can show you different colors.  [...]]]></description>

But sometimes it&#8217;s hard to find good garlic. So we [...]]]></description>

One of the few things growing well after our cool, rainy month of June is broccoli.  All ten plants started to flower (yep, you&#8217;re eating flower buds, folks) so I walked up to the garden and cut their little heads off.  Gardening can be cruel.

So, ten nice heads of broccoli on the counter.  Don&#8217;t think [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s so discouraging to walk up to the garden and see a plant that was incredibly healthy last night now looks like this (the one on the left). It appears our old nemesis, pith necrosis, is back.  Last year, we lost ten plants to pith necrosis (out of sixty).  We already have four plants exhibiting [...]]]></description>
