…we picked up some of these guys at the Goddard Park Farmer’s Market on Friday from Tony’s seafood- straight from Narragansett Bay…and they were only a dollar a piece!  Since they were already cooked, all we had to do is dig out the meat. There wasn’t much to be had in the bodies- we’ll use those for stock, but the legs had some sizable chunks of meat that was pretty sweet- no adornment needed.

…our garden has been under a full-on assault from every direction- the tomatoes have blight, the chipmunks, squirrels and bunny have been chowing down, there are mites in the hops and we also found a tomato hornworm on one of our non-blighted tomatoes. Here are a couple of pictures of our blighted tomatoes:

…next year, we are going to do a major shakeup of our plantings…everything will be rotated into new areas and hopefully we can get better results.

Below is the stunted Willamette hops…

…but alas, all is not lost. We got our first eggplant today…

…and our second crop of radishes are ready!

…the cayenne peppers are coming along.

…and the bees are enjoying the variety in our herb garden!
