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!

Garden of Eatin' - Week 5

Here Is the Garden in week 5 also the stone came in for the patio...10 yards to be exact!! ooh my aching back...

Garden of Eatin' is Growing... Yumm!

Well hell, it's so hot out and my new Mac adds to that heat, that I decided to stay outside and attend to my new summer project...the Garden of Eatin'!!! I could not think of a cool name until it hit me...

Why am I doing this? Because Whole Foods has gotten so goddam expensive that I thought I would do my part by saving the gas, the carbon footprint and my sanity and grow our own food. So this summer, instead of designing cool art, I will make you hungry (while I eat...!) and post how Jen and I are doing our part to live a semi-self-sustainable lifestyle by growing and composting what this great Earth is capable of providing for us if we put our minds to it and our hands in it (the soil that is...) and appreciate what we will get out of it...
