Still Loving September

Just back from a fabulous trip to Aspen with the family. Gardens and mountains and beauty everywhere motivates me to get going here at home. I have rotated my worm bin and have a bucket of liquid fertilizer for the garden and worm castings to add to soil for new planting boxes.
Picked Swiss Chard, spinach, hot peppers, green beans and collards.

For dinner we had pork chops seared with Trader Joe's Ginger Mango chutney (to die for) and I steamed the collards in a saute pan with sweet red pepper and cubed mango with a bit of red pepper flakes, garlic and 1 cup of organic chicken broth. Wow, great combination, you've got to try it!
Our new rooster is doing fine, lots of singing, and the teenage hens are blending well with the ladies. Two hens are in nesting mode but we don't have any fertilized eggs yet. What a waste. We gave them golf balls to sit on! They love it.
