Time to plant the seeds...

Return of the Garden of Good Eatin' 2009

...my wife Jen, standing guard of this year's precious heirlooms... go ahead and try to take some...!

Hello All you Hibernators!

The Garden of Good Eatin' is Back!

The seeds are in... the seeds are in!!! (sounds like the British are coming!...)

We got our seeds and we're getting itchy to plant them. I will start propagating them this weekend... so bring on another snow storm while these babies get growing inside! We got 47 varieties of herbs and vegetables and most of the seeds are organic and of the heirloom variety. If you want some, go to the Seed Savers Exchange and don't forget to become a member! It's important not only to grow good vegetables, but to grow original varieties that were long here before all the hybrid crap you buy at the supermarket.

Here is my first delivery of seeds... the list...

Jen, my wife, doesn't know what she's getting into with the garden this year, but once she sees all the hard work pay off and how healthy we stay, she'll have no regrets!

Now every yard needs a Fire Pit to enjoy all these grilled vegetables on... so why not get a recycled one that is created by the artist John T. Unger! This stuff is cool!

It costs a little more, but hey it's art! Right?

Well...It's been a while since I put on a update...trips on the weekends and brewing a lot of new beers... Especially The " BeeJeesus BPA"! 

Finishing at about 7.1% ABV and a glowish orange hue, My 99.9% "no hops" brew is "hopped with botanical's from our garden.

 ...What ?!? 

I put several pounds of Bee Balm (two types...) Some lavender and Jasmine White Tea leaves... It has all the citrus and floral aroma of many popular styles of hops used in traditional IPA's...mmm... bet it will go great with the softball size heirlooms tomatoes we are growing! 

I have harvested 30 or so cucumbers so far, pounds of basil, 7 or 8 summer squash, pounds of lettuce, arugula, some beets, a couple peppers...

The tomatoes are bursting at the seams!!! So are the peppers... I will also harvest some of the sage, thyme, curry and coriander next week... dry those bitches out and into the spice jars! ... I ordered some garlic bulbs for the fall too... mmm roasted garlic!
