What happened in May? Not a whole lot besides the first of the berries. We had a large lull in produce picking while everything soaked up the sun and grew, but not to ripeness yet. The chickens were off schedule too; I know Juliet needs to just molt and get it over with. Hollyhock insists on being broody for 3 months at a time, so she is useless. I'm looking forward to Daisy hitting puberty and starting to contribute to the egg business. I am extremely pleased with the boysenberries, they are sweet, tart and delicious and about the only thing we picked this month.

We live on a 1/10th acre lot and rent a 20x20 foot community garden plot.
This month marks a special milestone for this blog- 12 months since I have begun recording my produce and eggs tallies. Just for fun, I've dusted off the old calculator and come up with 12-month totals.
