Pickles! Lol I ran out of smaller jars so these are HALF gallon jars of sweet pickles. I still have sooo many more cucumbers lol. While I complain I really do appreciate this abundance. We also have 2 butcher dates ahead of us, our first 5 meat kits will be our official trial and our last meat birds of the season. All coming up in the next few weeks. If anyone wants any sweet pickles let me know!

Oh lord its begun. Zucchini season. Six 2lb loaf pans now in the oven and approximately 5000 more zucchini to go. Im just going to keep baking loaves until I run out of any ingredient lol. Anyone wants to buy a loaf left me know, these are southern styled zucchini bread so definitely not “diet” friendly lol.

Plums! 2 from our beauty plum tree. They are a bit small but we don’t use commercial fertilizer nor did I go through and thin the fruit I just wanted to see what we’d get. And the first variety of wild plum is ready. This tree is small and doesn’t produce a lot but they are about the size of cherries and eaten the same way. Great little snack. One wild verity to go and a few still on the tree.

The firsts of this years garden. I see SO many cucumbers, SO many Zucchini’s, SO many crooknecks, tomatoes are starting to fruit too. One weird thing I noticed was a few ripe blackberries. On my property at least they have always been ready the end of summer. I guess this weird hot wet summer is doing something.

Anyways here comes some picked quail eggs and SO much zucchini bread lol.

New layer colors! The “starlight” green layers are starting to lay and my Ameraucanas are starting to lay. In this pictureI have one very very light blue egg from my Opal legbars, one deeper blue from the Ameraucana, a white from an Andalusian blue for reference, starlight egger green egg and 2 maran eggs. Can anyone tell what blue egg is what?! Its subtle but also so noticeable especially in person.

Lots of fruit coming up! I love this part of the season. Micro orchard was planted last year from all semi dwarf bareroot trees. When I was researching there wasn’t much information on how to cultivate a micro orchard so I winged it. All of my trees are planted decently close and pruned to stay currently 4 foot until they will reach the max size I want them to be roughly 5-6ft. I prune them twice a year. The end of August and in the dead of winter.

So far our gala apple tree is producing fruit, Fuji apple tree has a few and one of our beauty plums. Our Asian pears seem to be still growing so nothing from them this year.

We do have a few mature trees that came with the property that are thriving. A normal pear tree and two wild plums. Two different varieties and they are DELICIOUS. I unfortunately was over run with chores, life and the 20lbs of strawberries we’ve already harvested and not even close to being done that I missed the cherries lol.

And to wrap things up our baby blue berries are producing (I ate all the ripe ones already in that picture 🫢)

On top of that 35 chickens are always laying, we culled a few male quails to even out the flock, rabbit kits are to be weaned on the 7th and processed at the end of july. They are already HUGE lol. This summer has been pretty cool so I decided I will be breeding my other does soon instead of waiting out summer. Meat chickens are looking good.

And over all I am so grateful that my chaos is literally the ability to feed my family and cultivating that.

And meat birds again! I’ve been patiently waiting for 2 weeks hoping no one would buy them lol got 12 on sale from 4.99 to $1. We still have a lot left from the last batch so maybe this will be the last batch of the season and we focus on rabbits BUT y’all know I’m a sucker for sales lol

Last week got away from me but catching up with weeding and pruning. Im so surprised to see theres already crookneck, zucchini and cucumbers growing. Harvested our test garlic patch (roughly 20 good sized cloves but will do more next year.). Im SO behind on weeating and mowing its insane what one week can do.
