..and just like that the start of the canning and preserving season for 2025 is off to a great start! Yesterday I processed round tomatoes for salsa, finishing a batch of mild restaurant style. Today I’m doing a batch of peach pineapple salsa. ♥️

I’ve been out in the garden getting everything cleaned up and planting for all the late Spring and Summer edibles. I’ve got to get my squash, pumpkins, and sweet potatoes planted ASAP. What are you planting this month?

Spicy ginger, nutritious sweet potatoes, juicy papaya—oh my! It’s not too late to get edible plants in the ground this season. Try planting some of these options for fresh produce in the kitchen.

The post-coffee morning egg collection. Green eggs, blue eggs, purple eggs, speckled eggs, chicken eggs, duck eggs, turkey eggs…all the eggs!

Even with the Florida temps starting to rise the girls are still pumping them out. If you’re in Florida (I’m in the panhandle area) and are looking for hatching eggs to get your own colorful egg basket send me a DM for breed availability.

*SOLD* Thank you! Make sure you follow this page for future updates on availability.

BOGO SPECIAL!! I have two assorted cartons of hatching eggs never claimed pushing six days old that I would love to see go to someone’s incubator (because I have no room in mine 😂) before the viability starts falling.

Perfect to split with a friend of two, or keep them all to yourself 😉.

You get a little bit of everything; Black Copper Marans, Chocolate Egger, Chocolate Chip Egger, Mint Chip Egger, Olive Chip Egger, F2 Backcrossed Olive, F1 Backcrossed Olive, and F1 Olive Eggers. Perfect for a super colorful egg basket!

Took a stroll through the garden on my way to let the chickens out this morning. My one purple lady bok choy that survived the Great Poultry Assault of 2025 is ready to harvest and my sugar magnolia peas are starting to produce! I’m seeing stir fry on the dinner menu this weekend. Yummmmmmmm.
