We just started harvesting them. This variety is called Mister Big and I highly recommend them to anyone inclined to grow their own. So far, they’ve gone into a creamy pasta with peas. Yum!

Here’s what I made my son in law for Christmas… because I’m awesome. 🙂 It was made with HO 1:87 scale train people. It’s amazing what kind of figures you can find once you put your mind to searching. They have an entire Fun Fair line that’s discontinued, dang it. I did snag a few Fun Fair spectators on ebay and have had a ton of fun placing them in peril.

The greenhouse lit for watering before daybreak makes for an eerie scene. It looks like a UFO has landed in our yard.

The broccoli in our greenhouse is starting to produce. I have an awesome new cheese sauce recipe waiting for these to grow up.

We checked all of our sheep and goats this morning for intestinal parasites and gave them a CD/T vaccine. Some were better behaved than others (Beatrice, I’m looking at you….). Everyone survived the ordeal, us included. Wrestling animals is real exercise.
