Our chicks are just about 3 weeks old and it is amazing how fast they grow.  They don’t look anything like the cute, fuzzy balls of fluff we brought home at the beginning of the month.  They are still living in our family room in a clear plastic Sterlite tub, but the time is coming for them to move on up and…

I am still amazed at how fast chicks grow!  Our new chicks – Marigold, Petunia, Violet and Rose – are just about three weeks old.  See how much they’ve grown since joining the Second Street Chicken Ranch on April 2nd.                           Here are our fuzz-balls on April 3rd   And a few days later on April 8th – notice the wing…

Don’t you just love a neat, tidy and evenly spaced row of vegetables in your garden?  Maybe, if I’m lucky, I can get a straight row, but the evenly spaced thing is another story.  Really, have you seen the size of carrot and lettuce seeds?  Once they leave the confines of that white envelope, it’s any one’s guess as to where…

Well, it is April 6th, and in north Idaho we are still waiting for spring.  Oh yeah, the usual signs are all around — tulips are pushing up, grass greening up – but the temperature certainly is not up.  As eager as I am to get out there and do something in the yard, Mother Nature has kept me inside.

Heirloom tomatoes 🍅🍅
Organic gardening 🥕🌶
& Urban chickens! 🐔🐓

Who says you can't grow big beefsteaks in North Id Who says you can't grow big beefsteaks in North Idaho? 

Witness Potato Leaf Yellow, (seeds from Epic Tomato man and friend, Craig LeHoullier @nctomatoman ), planted in late May, harvested this beauty on August 22. 

My second year growing this variety and once again, it is a winner with more fruit hanging on the vine. 

Weighing in at 1 pound 9 ounces,  every ounce is sweet and delicious. What a 🥓🥬🍅 she is going to make!

Put this tomato on your list for next year's garden. Plants exclusively from The Coop. 🍅
