BTW, I have one of those clunkers, too, and I’m quite happy with it … I’ve done the math on replacing it and the logic is not there–at least in my case.

I agree — it’s that way with everything in life. The “backup band” is just as important as the star players. It’s all about working together to make things happen. I had a blast meeting and enjoying the behind the scenes folks who make opening my basket each Monday night such a treat!

Thanks to all of you!

I think you’re right, painted with a multi-regional theme (UK, Japanese, American West, German, French and so on). That will go with our global traveling plate tour.

You need to write a book, Cid. “I once travelled on the same vessel as a reporter…” Call it Cid’s Magical Mystery Tour.

Hope your kitchen is coming around. Can’t wait to see it.

Something tells me we should have a van like that when we do our global culinary road tour

I once travelled on the same vessel as a reporter who sent in daily news via radio…. with today’s electronic gadgetry we could probably pod cast (sounds a lot like invasion of the body snatchers but I doubt they’ll want mine so we’re safe )

Here’s to fresh, organic, scrumptious fruit and veg and all who grow them.

I wish I could come and visit Leaning Tree Farm! You’re doing such incredible things. You’re an inspiration to me! I don’t have much room in my yard and chickens wouldn’t be a good idea as I have a 130 pound dog who fancies himself as the great squirrel hunter, but I can at least live vicariously through you! Keep up the good work — can’t wait to see your new flock.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, we are indeed lucky to have this wonderful farm fresh food delivered each week. Today’s my pick-up day. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for us this week!

Thanks for visiting my blog, even though I’ve been MIA most of the summer. I just took some photos for a post on beans. I’ll get to it when it rains. Ha!

Your CSA looks a lot like my back yard and kitchen. I’d love to have a groovy bus! I’m eating VERY well just now!

I love my chickens so much that I’ve decided to get a few more, about 50 or so. So I’ve been in construction mode for the last few weeks. I’m anxious to get all the stumps and brush cleared so I can start building. The digging/sawing/chopping part of the job is grueling.

Instead of selling produce at a farmers market this year, I decided to give it away. So I’ve been sharing with the bowlers and the Chatterboxers. Several are urbanites who (sadly) have no dirt of their own. Wish you lived in my neighborhood!

Glad to hear you’re getting compost worms! Don’t expect instant gratification. The worms I got in Feb. have been slowly turning my kitchen scraps into castings. I used a little to give the strawberries a boost. I’ll have a big batch for fall application, and more by next spring.

Enjoy your abundance!
