The chickens are alright

I know, I know, it has been a frightfully long time since I've updated on what's what in my tiny urban farm. I blame it on a combination of being insanely busy, and having a long, cold, gross, disgusting spring in which even certain failsafe veggie seeds (summer squash, anyone?) failed to germinate properly. I have some theories about why that is, which I'll discuss at a later date.

As for the chickens, they are clucking along quite nicely. No eggs yet, but any day (fingers crossed). The ladies have had some adventures this summer, which I will catch you up on, along with the details on what is growing despite benign neglect (I am the tomato goddess....click here and scroll down to "Neighborly Advice" if you don't believe me) and ripening like mad (apples, grapes and plums, oh my!).

Oh, and one of the ladies (Marmalade) is now sort of famous in Seattle. More on that, too, later.

Yikes...I have so much to catch up on!
