This fun guy is growing some sort of screened in porch situation. That's very hospitable. I hope it brings whatever guests he is going for.

Oh, hello Glo. No, it's not for you. No, I don't them inspected. I think you're probably still full from the entire tomato you ate the other day. How about some treats for the human?

Gloria, that's not the ONE tomato I picked today on your beak is it? It is? You knocked it off the fence post and quietly ate the whole thing while I was pulling weeds? And you're not sorry? No shame at all? Pretty proud actually and would 100% do it again? Awesome.

The girls having been paying the rent lately so I'm letting them dig in the compost pile. The compost pile is their number one rated destination on Cluck. (It's like Yelp, but for chickens.)

One is big and one is tiny. One volunteered and one was cultivated. I love them equally. We are all doing our best.

Harvest! It's been another tough year for tomatoes around here but luckily I have a neighbor that shares (plus a CSA and a farmer's market)! That's the last of the cucumbers. I'll be pulling the vines this week. What can I trellis for fall?

Look at Vi in the lower left. She has an entire stalk of kale on her back. Do your chickens throw things over their shoulders when foraging? I mean "foraging." Clearly no one is searching for food around here. The broodies are the best at throwing all kinds of things onto their backs while feeling nesty. Weirdos.

My tomatoes are pearlescent! I don't know what variety this is but they are glittery and marbled! They also taste good.

I love these little #LunchboxPeppers! I would have said I only planted red ones this year but these orange ones would disagree. All of this is headed for the freezer today.

Tonight we are featuring back-of-the-fridge kale, suspended from a piece of old twine, under a twisty branch. Expecting my any moment.

Auditions for Cirque bee Soleil are happening on the cucumber vine today. She's hanging from a curlicue, suspended by just her fingertips! Such skill!
