And We're Back...

Ok, the blog hiatus is now over along with the cameraman’s. Bret and I have finally gotten moved into our home. Moved is the key word- settled is another part of the story. Boxes are stacked, cabinets are not even close to being full and the walls are still naked. But that’s ok. We have to start somewhere. And I’ll take the disorganization for now. Especially since our landlords were nice enough to put some new flooring in AND replace that awful pink toilet…may it rest in peace!

Now, onto the real business at hand here- We’ve had many inquiries about our CSA program which we are growing more excited about. The vegetable plants are looking healthy and the flowers are starting to bud. What a relief to see some green with a few patches of color mixed in.

Remember that rogue tomato I told you about a few weeks ago? Well here it is! She’s almost ready to pick and looking mighty delicious in all of its tomato glory. There’s probably going to be a fight over who gets a bigger bite of the little guy!
Also, here is a pick of the tomato’s we grafted a couple weeks ago. They are looking strong and their graft clips are falling right off. This means two things. 1.) We are going to have strong heirloom tomato plants that will hopefully produce lots of yummy varieties and 2.) We didn’t kill them!!!! That was the part I was most afraid of as this whole grafting thing is very new to me. So far we're running in the high 80% success rate of survival. But I don't want to jinx it...
