Sun Dried Tomatoes and a Chicken Coop Addition!

We got the shed stained a couple of weeks ago and Midge has been constructing nesting boxes for the chickens. We are thinking that we might have two roosters out of the four. We are throwing around ideas about the fate of the so called hens that might be roosters... She has spent hours, measuring, sawing, hammering, drilling, and painting. I'm sure that the chickies are very happy with their new addition!

Sue was the leader of the sun dried tomato squad. George and Cathy offered the fruit right off of their vines and we took advantage of the chance to try drying them in the greenhouse. My favorites were the ones that weren't quite dried out. The flavor was very sweet and rich!


George and Cathy have offered us 300 ft of space for a garden next summer! We are very excited and have a bit of work to do to prepare for next spring. We will be helping them with their crops when needed. They are both very knowledgeable and have the tractors etc to help with the jobs! We are all looking forward to growing more food, learning about new seeds and planting methods and having more goodies to dry and freeze for Winter 09!
