A Wee Li’l Kenton House Harvest

June 12, 2009

We were SO late getting this year’s planting in (and I won’t be too hard on us about that, seeing as how we had just moved in around planting time and had NO vegetable beds dug out, no money for compost, so on and so forth, not to mention that two of us were super pregnant and the other two adults worked full time!)

Alas, its one of those things we are all okay with letting go a bit, lol. Our neighboring Evergreen community house, who so far hasn’t decided on a name but they might settle on The White House, so for now, that’s what I’ll call them (previously the Davison’s home) were obliging young ladies to bring us over some of their lettuces the other night and we graciously paid them in chocolate chip cookies because we don’t have much to trade yet. Even the chickens have been pretty slow goin’ this year.

But I am happy to report that we do have SOME fruits of our labor to pick recently. Some strawberries that were already growing when we moved in are blessing us with a handful of small berries each day, plus a bootie load of herbs we planted back in March.

Well, here, I’ll just walk you through it:

SEE OUR CARROTS SPROUTING UP! CUTE, AREN’T THEY???

Here is a picture of our baby daughter Verity (6wks!) today with our midwife/naturopathic doctor that we LOVE:
