I love fall.  There, I’ve said it.  It’s not that I don’t like the other seasons, after all, I am a gardener and each season brings its own joy.  In northern Idaho we do have four seasons: cold, colder, wet and hot, but they don’t fall into neat little time frames.  And this year, the “hot” season seemed to pass us by completely. …

It’s been nearly two weeks since we introduced Midge and Madge, a pair of Buff Orpingtons, to our Second Street Chicken Ranch flock and relative peace has finally settled in.  This newly acquired, “peaceful, easy feeling,” hasn’t come without a price.  We’ve had bloodshed, a lot of feathers flying and in the end, a flock reduction.

Yay! Welcome the first cherry tomatoes of the season: Raspberry Burst. I'm growing three plants and all are loaded with friut. Compact plants (about 24 inches tall) have round pinkish fruit with faint stripes and bits of anthocyanin blue coloring. These are unique with a flavor that's a little sweet, a little tangy. Summer yummies!#thecoeurdalenecoop #firsttomato #raspberryburst #organictomatoes #homegrowntomatoes ... See MoreSee Less
