Having harvested all the garlic and shallots and many of the leeks (a good soup for dinner tonight!), I did a second a planting today. Fool that I am, I planted the rest of the tomato seeds in the desperate hope that they will grow this time. Fat chance.

Got another planting of zucchini and beans - hope I'm not overdoing it with the zucchini. So easy to do.

And finally, the collard greens! Was planning to do that awhile back but decided it was too early. Just planted 3 rows so I can do successive plantings. If you've never tried collards greens, you must - they are so amazingly delicious. And incredibly good for you, antioxidants up the wazoo.
Brought the chickens down with me, first time they've been in the lower garden. It took them awhile to find the compost heap, but once there it was a banquet. Chipmunk is better at finding worms, but Mimique is better at stealing and eating them. I didn't know chickens could eat so many worms. They had a blast and no hawks came by to spoil the fun.
