The Garden!!!

The garden,  Pretty good for only May.  Though most of it is being ravaged by caterpillars.  I've been making slightly different batches of organic pesticide (garlic, cayenne, jalapenos, habaneros, and onions blended and steeped in hot water and then strained).  It's a lot of work but it seems to be working.  Only our potatoes were completely destroyed. Having fresh salads every night and green onions and rosemary on hand is really awesome. 

Garden Spreadsheets?

Spring is here! Or at least, right around the corner and this year I've vowed to get more out of our garden than I put in. We will begin most of our transplant-able plants inside in these little egg shells. I'll probably use peat pots for the delicate transplants. And, my garden planting schedule has been converted into a spreadsheet because I am verging on neurotic or just diverting all my excitement into preparation while I await the last frost!

Keep your face near the earth and your heartbeat high...

or sit silently and listen to our thoughts

It's a terrible picture but... illustrates just how awesome my girlfriend really is. We don't go out that much but when we do it's highly entertaining!

Oklahoma flowers. What are these?

The first batch of homemade mozzarella was made into a salad with homegrown basil. Delicious!

Second batch the next night made with whole milk this time. Looks so damned professional!
