a chronicle of our days and half-time efforts at (sub)urban homesteading, musings on parenting, and a whole lot of the mundane, humdrum bits.

back yard goodness
I love this time of year, when a walk around the garden yields all of this delicious goodness. And then there's the greens, garlic, onions, and herbs..... it all makes me quite happy. We'll be swimming in tomatillos soon so I'm on the lookout for a tried and true salsa verde recipe. Let me know if you've got one you love!
Also, speaking of tasty things from the back yard..... while Mike had the hives open for a peek the other day he accidentally broke some of the cappings on one of the frames with honey. So I accidentally stuck my finger in there and swiped a tiny little taste of the sweet and sticky goodness. Mmmm mmmm good.

I've become a big fan. And we have a small space, too~ there's just a small fence around the two hives to keep our dog and daughter from sticking their noses in too close. they don't bother the neighbors, or anything, really. bzzz bzz bzzz! and hey, if you can put raised beds out by the street, I bet you could get crafty with locating a hive or two!
