the heide family homestead had a bountiful summer!

planters of basil, cilantro, dill and chives. the back planter along the fence in this planter was sort of an afterthought filled with extra seedlings of peppers, beans and a few heirloom tomatoes that miraculously reseeded from last year all on their own.

and here is where mountains of tri color beans, 5 varieties of tomatoes, 4 types of peppers and our eagerly anticipated brussels sprout plants grow.

this is the same garden bed from the tomato end of things

this has been my daily haul from the garden pretty steadily since july

and the chicks! they are all grown up and moved out (THANK GOODNESS OMG MY POOR GARAGE WILL NEVER EVER BE CLEAN AGAIN. SO DUSTY! EW!)

look at the cute home dave built them!

big girls! (and probably a boy, we'll see)

EGGS! we get about a half dozen a day, they are fairly small so we're going through them all at home (yum yum yum) for now but we hope to get enough to supplement at the restaurant some also.

We have been having adventures and staying busy. life is fun.
