My potatoes are now all dug, and I have a very small crop to use as food&...

Bag of individually frozen eggs. NOTE I ha...

Bean seeds to be planted for next year's bean crop. Many of the green beans that I planted in June and did not pick with the intention of saving them for next year's seed are just getting to the stage when they need to be picked, dried and stored.

I'm bad. Has it really been over a month since I last updated my blog? I won't launch into a bunch of excuses.they all apply! And Yukon Gold. They were all from seed potatoes which I saved from last year. I was a bit dismayed to find that my new chickens don't seem to find CPBs. At any rate, the potatoes all su...
