Pretty Eggs

I really like how pretty brown eggs are and sometimes the girls make them extra special.  Like this one...

Our laying hens like to keep life interesting!

Growing Lettuce

I tried to grow lettuce last year but it didn't work out all that well.  This year, I started from seed just to see what would happen.  Check it out!

We have already harvested our first crop.  It tastes yummy!  A few nights ago, we had burgers with homegrown meat, homemade hamburger buns and our very own lettuce.  You just can't beat that!

Growing Beets

I planted some beet seeds in a pot several weeks ago.  I really don't like beets but I'm willing to tough it out because they're good for me.  They have actually grown really well!  I've had to protect them from a hard rain once because I knew they would get beat down but, other than that, they have been a pretty easy vegetable to grow.

I have never grown beets before.  I can't wait until they get big enough to pull up!
