Egg-stra, Egg-stra, Chicken Ranch Makes Front Page News!

The Chicken Ranch made the front page of our local newspaper a few weeks ago! I was contacted by a local reporter via FaceBook who wanted to know what it was like to raise chickens in an urban setting and if I had noticed more people doing the same.

I know of at least three other backyard flocks within a 10 block radius of our urban “ranch” and I suspect that there are many more.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but all is well here on the ranch! Our building projects of last spring and summer are long completed and I am knee deep in gardening again. More updates on the ranch and the garden to come soon. For now, enjoy this fine article from the Coeur d’Alene Press! http://bit.ly/cdapress_chix

    Thanks! If only I didn't have to work for a living (which involves sitting at a computer all day) – I'd be posting all the time. LOL. Thanks for continuing to follow – and your comments, much appreciated!

The Coeur d'Alene Coop
It's turning out to be a fantastic tomato season! The cherry types are coming on, and here are a few beauties. The first two images are the Italian Piennolo del Vesuvio, the famous storage tomatoes of Napoli. I love their pointed tips. These are traditionally hung indoors to extend the season. Next is Cherry Ember. Plants are heavy with these bracts of fruit. Striking red with orange stripes. Another huge producer is Baby Roma. Clusters of red, pear-shaped fruit hang on large indeterminate plants. A customer favorite, Sweetie sports a cluster of 12 fruit... this is one of many. Next is Raspberry Burst, a new favorite. Dwarf plants are about 24 inches tall and packed with deep red to purple cherry-type orbs. Finally, after all the trials and tribulations (if you follow my newsletter, you know), tiny Elf Tears! I shed my own when I saw these! LOL! True happiness!#thecoeurdalenecoop #heirloomtomatoes #organiccherrytomatoes #homegrowntomatoes #tomatolove ... See MoreSee Less
