What happened in May.

Well, it's June and that means another month of growth is on the books and it's time to look back and see what we have learned before heading into another month.

We are already working on next years Chard Wars for May the 4th ( be with you ). The responses we  received were great. It's nice to know that our readers like to laugh with us.


A few hard lessons came to us in May with the loss of our celery and rainbow chard. We moved on and planted a few new plants... plants much better suited for our space.

We also picked a potato ( slightly prematurely ) and cooked our one tiny red potato to eat and share a recipe with our dear readers.

Our hope is that June brings even more success here on +The Littlest Farm as we head in to BBQ season we hope to be sharing more recipes from the garden with you.

April Update !


Has it been a month already ?!

I do love our monthly update, getting to look back at the work and the rewards is a very satisfying experience.

We picked our first crop of  radishes & made a delicious soup from them. Check our recipe for Radish Greens Soup.

Yum

Our potato system seems to be working out very nicely. In just over two weeks we are seeing marked growth improvement with our updated watering system. 

Before ( 4-12-13 )


After ( 4-29-13 )


While it is not yet quite canning time for us in California we did come across these cool 100th Anniversary Ball Jars that we can't wait to fill with jam. 

Because we have Blackberries & Strawberries coming in 

Finally, for anyone interested there will be a new Chard Wars post on Star Wars Day ( May the 4th )

Episode 1 : A Very Confusing Cast
Coming May the Fourth ( be with you )

As spring turns to summer more and more is happening on The Littlest Farm. Things to look forward to in May include our chicken coops, lots and lots of growth in the veggie garden and a detailed tour of our flower and herb garden.

Chard Wars

It's a beautiful day in the bay area. 73 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny and nothing to do in the garden but water and watch everything grow.

Or.... be silly and stage the many battles of the epic sci-fi series Chard Wars 


Battle of Strawberry Buds

The Empire invasion of Carrots 

Radish Troopers are done looking for droids





The Epic Chard Wars.
