Nothing like fresh greens and new pastures. These chickies are happy. One even tried to hop a ride.

And did you know that access to grass plays a vital role in chicken health? It has been shown that chickens who have greens in their diet are healthier and their eggs have less fat and cholesterol, and increased amounts of vitamin A, vitamin E, beta carotene and omega-3s.

ASAP - Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project and their Growing Minds Farm to Table program visited Pisgah Elementary School on Thursday (2 miles up the road from me). The feature product was blackberries from my farm in the form of smoothies. I got the purple lip and thumbs up approval.

Remember to visit your local farmers market and support your local growers. The Enka-Candler Farmers Market starts April 18.

A friend captured this picture of Hazel and me about 3 years ago and soon after getting her. My, oh my, how she has become such a good farm dog. She knows her boundaries, helps keep the rabbits at bay, scares off deer from the lower garden, and herds (very unprofessionally and proudly) Chickens, Gracie cat (when she gets outside) and goats (very tentatively). I love having her by my side!

Eggplant can be tricky. They like it hot so I don't plant them out until later in the season. The flea beetles love them so little plants can sometimes get them so bad they become stressed and do not produce much fruit. Despite the cooler side of late spring and early summer the eggplant this year look fantastic. There is some flea beetle pressure but not so much so that the plants seem very healthy and are growing well. I see lots of places where buds are forming and I'm hoping for lots of fruit.

Pictured is the Rosita eggplant blossom. The other variety I'm growing is Little Green Frog.

Brittany has been my sidekick 1 day a week throughout the summer. The task of weeding one of the pepper beds created the Superhero, Hand Trowel Woman. That pepper bed looks like it was saved from the weeds!

Weeds are never ending and I will always take Superhero help should one have time to offer it.

The blackberries are starting to ripen. Stay tuned for you pick dates!
