		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s been quite a while since we&#8217;ve posted anything.  We&#8217;ve been busy:
1. Starting a new business.
2. Raising over 300 plants from seed for the garden (in our tiny little kitchen).
3. Successfully rehabilitating a Little Brown Bat (in our bedroom).
4. Watching an Eastern Phoebe couple raise their chicks right outside our back door.
5. And enjoying [...]]]></description>

Melt the fat (you can use beef suet or lard or shortening, but mine was free) in a saucepan over low heat.  When it&#8217;s melted, stir in a roughly equal amount of [...]]]></description>

First, I have to scrape off the straw mulch and do a bit of weeding.
I like to layout the planting [...]]]></description>

But that&#8217;s officially what a &#8220;peck&#8221; is.This year we grew Gypsy (sweet), Anaheim (mildly spicy), Salsa Delight (spicy) and TAM jalapenos (not as hot as regular jalapenos, &#8217;cause we&#8217;re pepper wimps).

		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite fall vegetables is butternut squash.
We start the plants from seed in the spring and let them sprawl all over a straw covered bed in the back of the garden.  These are the variety &#8216;Waltham&#8217; from Johnny&#8217;s Seeds.
I think baby butternuts are so cute.
Midsummer, the squash look like this.
They are ready to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love elderberries.  They are a native plant to this area, but I haven&#8217;t seen any wild ones around for years.  So I decided to plant some bushes about four years ago.
They bloom in June.  If you&#8217;re searching for them in the wild, this is a good time to look for them, as the huge [...]]]></description>

An Asian invader, Rubus phoenicolasius (commonly known around here as wineberries) annually threatens to take over our 1 acre universe.  The problem:  They taste really good.  To birds and animals and insects and&#8230;us.
I do my part in trying to stop the spread of this noxious weed by picking them.  Wouldn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Time to do some canning.
First, cut off the greens.  Leave a couple of inches of stems attached.

So, how to use them up? They don&#8217;t freeze well, and we [...]]]></description>
