Spring Update

I know I've been MIA for awhile. Sorry! No excuses! But here's what's going on...

Our blueberry bushes are doing great. Look at our first berries!


The chickens are laying eggs like crazy! We actually keep getting double yolk eggs that are twice as big as the normal eggs.









We are also now in the process of training them to be "free ranging" and they love their time grazing.




The garden is planted! We've started eating lettuces and radishes.


And this weekend we planted sweet potatoes and cleaned up the other potatoes.



I leave for Italy in 5 DAYS! I'll post pictures when I get back!

Sweet Potatoes

So things have been a little hectic at work lately so I haven't had time to blog...sorry! But we have had some excitement in the garden since my last posting...Sweet Potatoes are ready!



My dad check on them last week and was happy with what he saw so we decided to dig them all up.



This was our first attempt at sweet potatoes and I'd say we'll definitely be planting them again next year! Some of our potatoes were a good two pounds.



We made a delicious sweet potato casserole that night (http://southernfood.about.com/od/sidedishcasseroles/r/bl90911u.htm), which should be classified as a dessert and not a vegetable! And then I had a baked sweet potato the following night. Any suggestions about what I should do with them this week?
