Our kale went crazy on us since going to seed. I had no idea they would grow such bright yellow flowers.
The butterflies have been flocking to them every day, too.
In case you're wondering about our vegetable boxes... they're designed according to the square foot gardening method found in Mel Bartholomew's book by the same name. It's great for small backyards like ours. I'll let Alan write about this method later since he's done the research and built the boxes. I just cook and eat the vegetables.
We inherited a large rhubarb plant from the previous owners of our house. It's almost ready to harvest. Our neighbors like to use it for making rhubarb strawberry jam and my mom and sister both take stalks throughout the summer to make pie and pudding. Yes, there is such thing as rhubarb pudding and it is delicious. I'm hoping I can entice my mom to post the recipe here.
As for the chickens...they are getting a lot bigger! They love exploring our back room and backyard, and they are even learning to read :-)
