Life throws some whopper curveballs sometimes. Unfortunately after being with my husband for 12 years, I recently learned he’s not the person anyone thought him to be. I try not to post personal stuff on this blog (being a gardening blog and whatnot, plus I have facebook and a personal blog and other places to talk about that kind of…

I’m the queen of craptastic titles, I know. It’s been hot, not as hot as say, Double Danger (they have a whole “hot as hell” category, you could not pay me enough to live in Texas), but it’s getting 90-95F with high humidity and no a/c, and if you’ve missed my whining on Twitter, you should know that means it’s…
Here’s the link! It’s written kind of cheesy, but I’m glad it’s published. “It’s silliness,” says Terri Frohnmayer, a commercial real-estate broker who is co-chairwoman of one of Salem’s 19 neighborhood associations and lives outside town next to a farm that has chickens. “Eggs aren’t even that expensive anyway. What’s next? Goats? Llamas?” Her advice to hen-loving neighbors: “Get a…
Update: The article is out! Apparently the City of Salem is becoming a nationwide spectacle over this chicken mess. So much so that the Wall Street Journal is interested. I guess the mayor thinks it’s because they’re dragging it out so long, which I suppose could be part of it, but I think the other part of it is that…
After I posted this chicken smell post, I’ve gotten a lot of hits to the blog from it. Again, if it smells, throw it out. If it’s in date, take it back to the store for a refund. Searches: chicken that smells bad bad chicken smell bad chicken bacteria chicken fresh but smells a bit chicken from store smelled bad…

First lady Michelle Obama is scheduled to break ground Friday on a new garden near the fountain on the South Lawn that will supply the White House kitchen. She will be joined by students from Bancroft Elementary School…
A group called CAC (Citizens Against Chickens) has formed and are trying to drowned out the voices of those of us who want chickens. Chickens (hens) are legal in Portland any many surrounding towns, Eugene, Corvallis and MANY big cities (NYC for one) across the country. Chickens do NOT equal “poor white trash” or lower property values. Chickens are not…
Imagine a bunch of men deciding to do the opposite of what the people they represent want – welcome to America :eyeroll It happens here in Salem even – again I write about chickens. 4 of our councilmen want to kill the whole chicken issue before it goes to public vote. Don’t let it happen! We need your voices! If…
The lettuce decided to start growing true leaves after today’s watering. However, they are leaning a lot to reach the light since we only have one: But it’s enough to grow things so I’m happy. More celery is coming up, the onions are all showing green stems and we now have tomatoes sprouting: They look a little pale and weak…
