Friday (wish there was some) Food Porn
Sorry, I have no food. This week has been just plain nuts. No time for serious cooking or food photography. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back into the swing of things this week, but at the moment, my headspace is occupied with other things...
Regardless, have a great weekend, everyone!!! Be safe, healthy, happy, and enjoy the awesome weather!!! And for future food inspiration, check out the frame/mesh cage that I built yesterday to keep the varmints out of my veggies and herbs. I have to build another one this weekend, and then we can finally shake off the lame bamboo stake/chicken wire rigs (in the photo on the right) that I threw together last fall when we had seeds in the ground that the squirrels would not leave alone.
F*ck xmas. This is the most awesome time of the year. I love being out in the yard when it's just warm enough for short sleeves and bare feet, and the air smells fresh and green. I love the sweat and sunburn and getting sore; dirty fingernails, clogged up sinuses and cuts and bruises from working out in the yard. Playing in the dirt, starting seeds indoors and moving the big plants outside. Pulling weeds and setting the plan for the summer garden. Everything is coming back to life and it smells and feels awesome. Can I get an amen? :-)

Well, darn!
Chattanooga finally fell off the the drought map over the winter, when the wet, gray weather helped us make up for a severely dry 2008 summer. But as of this week, we're back on the map. We're not colored red or brown yet, but just in case, I think this year I might try to find some heat- and drought-resistant tomatoes, since last year's crop was pretty well stunted by the awful dry heat that arrived in mid-July and stuck around for pretty much the rest of the summer (even though I watered religiously!).
Can anyone recommend a good tomato that will still produce fruit when the temperatures start consistently reaching toward the triple digits?

Happy Earth Day
Bill Maher had an Earth Day message on Friday, and mentioned the missing bees.
It was a beautiful Earth Day here in Chattanooga. I went to a plant sale at Crabtree Farms (I got some marjoram to replace the plant I lost over the winter, some jalepeño pepper plants and a couple of varieties of tomatoes) and then got to play in the dirt for a little while. I hope you were able to enjoy the lovely day as well!

First Strawberries
The year's first strawberries have come in.
This is our second strawberry season, so it's our first with a good number of berries in the crop.

The berries are extremely sweet and delicious. We are pleased to a very silly degree.
