New projects and a cough that just won't quit...

I'm laid up on the futon for day 2 with what I hope is a bug on its way out, so I've spent the morning lurking on Facebook a bit. And thanks to a combo of my lurking and my facebook news feed, I've learned of a cool new seed planting initiative that Emily over at YourDailyBreeze is starting, and I've decided to jump in and collaborate with her! YourDailyBreeze, which is celebrating it's 3 year anniversary, is a sweet blog that is all about animal photography, eco-activism, and a source of information for those who want to do more. For every tweet from YDB, Emily is going to plant an organic, GMO-free seed, and for every comment by readers she is going to plant two. I've decided that to help in this effort, for every blog post I write I will plant one organic/Bio/market seed, and for every new follower I get to the blog I will plant two! I'm very excited about this new project and can't wait to keep you up to date on our efforts. Looks like the Duggan Terrace Orchard is going to be a busy place this year!

A la prochain friends...

Juiced.

Hey, remember this little guy that poked its little apricot seed head out of the soil last Sunday? Well this is him exactly one week later.


Lay off the juice A-Rod.

Harvest.

We've had some harvestin' going down oh yes we have...

[Beets.]

I packed our front planter to beejeezus and back, and it looks like everything has grown. Swiss chard, beets, several cayenne pepper plants, basil plants, radishes, chives, and some great looking parsley. On the patio upstairs our strawberry plants keep creepin' and giving us a few strawberries a week, and we've got two eggplants growing. Oh yeah and this...
