Cabbage Patch











I have about 40 heads of cabbage growing that are doing really well and pest free. I guess I planted some brussel sprouts, that I forgot about, they are HUGE. The plants are already close to 5 feet tall and still growing. They look like trees!

My garden
















Mystery plant.....





































I have another plant growing that I have never seen. I have chicken runs I rotate and I let the grass grow in one while they scratch up the other. Well in one of the runs this strange plants started growing. Its now over 6
feet tall, has a pungent "meaty" smell. It starts with buds, then white flowers, then those turn into these horse chestnut looking green pods with spikes all over. Anybody have a clue????

Fruity!!!
















I have been getting alot of fruit from various sources. Over 100 pounds of pulms and some figs. This week we will be picking blackberries, MORE plums and some apples. I have been dehydrating and making jam......
