This blog is about a suburban couple trying to live a more sustainable life. It started with a few pots of tomatoes in the front yard and has grown to 5 chickens, a huge vegetable garden, berry patches, a fruit orchard, canning, beer brewing, and more!

Veggie Garden Update
Harvest is in full swing, tons of tomatoes, over thirty pounds so far, and the peppers plants are loading up. The Italian rose beans are drying on the plant and should be ready to pick this weekend. Soy beans should be ready soon. Peas and green beans are finished, we left a few on the plants to dry to collect as seeds for next year. The cucumber plants unfortunately died, and we are battling cucumber beatles and squash bugs on the squash and zucchini plants. Our watermelon, pumpkins, and gourds are doing well.
