The Break Room
Rabbit Run Cottage serves as the garden potting shed.
On the rainy weekend day’s I cleaned my little shed and my garden office is ready for this season.
The perfect view.
Tending
Perfectly imperfect.
Clean Up In Aisle 4
After the snow melts I let the chickens into the kitchen garden to do a little clean up.
5 hens remain from my original chick purchase nearly 8 years ago.
The girls egg laying days are over, but they provide insect clean up and add to my compost pile.
All very valuable to the garden.
And doesn’t chickens scratching in the yard just make you smile?
Priceless!
In The Garden

Raise Me Up
My kitchen garden is made up of 8 raised beds.
This little corner bed is my leafy greens area or lovingly referred to as “the salad bar”
This bed will be planted and picked upwards of 3 times a growing season.
Who wants a big salad?

Crop Rotation
A look back at last years kitchen garden, to create this years planting plan.
I crop rotate for disease control, and just because it keeps the garden interesting!
Tying the tomatoes
Heirloom tomato plants grow tall.
Strong cages and twine are a must!
