This has been quite the slow growing summer. Thanks to a very mild winter that lasted until the end of June, the garden has been just sluggish (in more ways than one) this year. The tomatoes look good with lots of green fruit; but this time last year we had been picking tomatoes for at least two weeks. The squash…

The Coeur d’Alene City Council voted Monday night to amend its chicken laws from three hens to an unlimited number of hens (no roosters and no other types of fowl).  This of course makes the Second Street Chicken Ranch very happy since we were breaking the law under the former ordinance!  I would like to again thank Mike Kennedy and the…

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
While it's cold and quiet outside, the growing garage is already starting to take shape. It's a tight fit at the moment (the SUV still lives there...for now), but it's starting to green up:Onions, leeks, shallots, and chives, thyme and mint, pansies, and my favorite today, baby snapdragons from seed I saved last fall.
