Homesteading in action

The last couple of weeks have been pretty active on the home front. Established beds are filling out (like these Egyptian Walking Onions planted 2 years ago),

the peas are just starting to bloom and bear (like these sugar pod peas planted 3/6),

and I've just filled up one of the new beds with tomatoes (brandywine, red pear, black from tula, golden jubilee, black krim), Black beauty zucchini, straightneck squash, bush sugar baby watermelon, and toma verde tomatilloes.

Of course, the "little ones" aren't so little anymore, either. This last week, one got injured and the rest started attacking it, so we made a fine lunch out of it. At seven weeks now, the cute chick faze is over, and I'm eyeing the fatties for a nice bbq'in day.
