We are slowly becoming urban farmers. This weekend we picked our first broccoli and I couldn't be happier! Broccoli is my favorite veggie and Luca actually eats it (minor miracle for a 2 1/2 year old so I hear). Has been fantastic to have something in the garden growing in winter as well. Completely organic (pesticide care of Birkenstock (I hand picked off the grubs and squashed them with my garden shoes)) we haven't eaten it yet, saving it all for a big family dinner on Tuesday night.
Our lemons are doing fantastic, the passion fruit vine is dripping with fruit that I am hoping will be ready next weekend. Now on to more adventurous ideas...chickens. Any tips you can share? I've convinced my husband, now I've got all the logistics to figure out like coop, breed etc. Ideas? -kb
*Oh and this is my first post from our new I-MAC. Yes we did the big switch. Thanks for the feedback!

That broccoli looks fantastic!
I have never kept chickens but I have had http://www.rentachook.com.au/ bookmarked for ages now, in the hope that one day we will move to a bigger place and I can get some.
Any tips for growing passionfruit? I would love to try that.
How delicious! My kids love broccoli too, it's my favourite along with green beans and zucchini (which are easy to grow too. My brother has chickens and finds it very easy to care for them, check out his blog it might be helpful.
