What's Growin' On: 5/28/06


Thinned Out Bull's Blood & Detroit Beet Seedlings

Realization Of The Day:
I should have waited to thin out the beets and purple kohlrabi until we'd eaten the giant cooler full of gourmet lettuce I harvested the other day (to beat the bitter heat). I mean, I'd waited this long already, I doubt a few more days would have hurt. Because you can't just toss this gorgeous stuff to the chickens.


Thinned Out Purple Kohlrabi Seedlings

Realization #2:
And I shouldn't have thinned them both out on the same day, either.

Realization #3:
Sometimes these realizations come just a little bit too late.



Realization #4:
It's always nice to have company in the garden so you can discuss all these realizations.

  3. Hi Lindy (the chicken),
    Hurtful? Hurtful? You and Whitey are probably the best fed chickens on the planet. And by the way, you obviously forgot that I did share some of those luscious leaves with you--along with an entire bucket of gourmet salad greens (that were NOT bitter). Plus some strawberries!

    Ahem. Who's hurt now, chickadee?

    Hi Rachelle,
    LOLOL--the comment about your husband was too funny. Good for you for trying to garden in the city! I hope you'll report back about how things are going.

    Yes, that is my baby sheep. Click here to read her story. And click here if you like the story and want to read more about her adventures on the farm.

March 2013 update: My apologies for the inconvenience - I know word verification is a pain - but I've had to turn it on to help stop the ridiculous number of anonymous spam comments I've been getting every day. Thanks for your understanding.

Welcome to InMyKitchenGarden.com! Thanks so much for taking the time to write. While I'm not always able to reply to every comment, I receive and enjoy reading them all.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I especially love to hear about what's going on in your own garden. I know, too, that other readers also delight in reading about your garden successes, failures, helpful tips, and lessons learned. Feel free to leave comments on older posts!

I try my best to answer all questions, but sometimes it takes me a few days to get to them. And sometimes, I'm sorry to say, they fall through the cracks, and for that I sincerely apologize.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy your visits to my kitchen garden!
