What one dozen eggs got me:

šŸ„š One angel food cake
šŸ„š A quadruple batch of sourdough pasta for the freezer

The hens have been laying like theyā€™re trying to break records lately, and weā€™re doing our best to keep up. We had an egg bake the other day, our customers bought every dozen we had available, and then the girls went right back to work and laid even more. šŸ˜‚

With yesterdayā€™s weather bouncing between sunshine and rain, it felt like the perfect day to stay busy in the kitchen during the gloomy moments. Not that I need much encouragementā€”I canā€™t sit still anyway.

Now we have an angel food cake waiting to be enjoyed and enough homemade pasta tucked away in the freezer to make a few summer dinners a little easier.

Iā€™ll share both recipes in the comments below. You can also find many of my recipes organized under the ā€œPhoto Albumsā€ tab on our page so you donā€™t have to scroll forever looking for them.

*One quick note: todayā€™s pasta was made using only egg yolks. Once you get comfortable making pasta from scratch, you learn thereā€™s more than one way to make a great dough. Extra yolks, a little olive oil, and the right amount of moisture make for an incredibly rich pastaā€”but thatā€™s a conversation for another day. šŸ˜‰šŸ

Tomato season is one of my favorite times of year!šŸ…

Iā€™m a firm believer that the work you put in earlyā€”whether itā€™s gardening, raising livestock, or just about anything elseā€”often determines how successful things are later on. Staying ahead of weeds early gives the plants you actually want a chance to thrive instead of competing for nutrients, water, and sunlight.

Tomatoes are especially one of those crops that can turn into an absolute jungle if you let them.

There isnā€™t necessarily a right or wrong way to grow tomatoes, but there are definitely methods that work better for different people. One thing that works well for me is keeping up with pruning. Today I took a quick buzz through the tomato patch and snipped off any lower branches, leaves, and suckers that I didnā€™t want.

Not only does it make the plants easier to manage when itā€™s time to start staking and weaving, but it also improves airflow around the plants. Good airflow is one of the best defenses against issues like blight, especially once the summer humidity settles in.

Iā€™ll be honest with youā€”I didnā€™t prune my tomatoes last year, and I regretted it. I simply didnā€™t feel like doing it, so I skipped that step altogether. We still had more than enough tomatoes for ourselves and plenty to share, but there was definitely more waste than I would have liked. Iā€™ve often wondered if some of the bug damage I dealt with was related to not pruning and allowing the plants to become such a dense jungle. Then again, every garden season comes with its own set of challenges. Last year was particularly bad for pests, and a lot of that likely had just as much to do with the weather as anything else. Gardening has a funny way of keeping us humble and constantly learning.

A few days ago, Jake pounded in all of my T-posts for me. I have to admit, that felt a little strange because Iā€™m usually the one doing that job. But with him home on dad leave, he jumped right on it. By the time I came back outside from feeding the baby, he had pretty much every post pounded in and ready to go. I wasnā€™t about to argue with that kind of efficiency šŸ˜‚

The garden is really starting to take off, and itā€™s looking like next week Iā€™ll be running my first strings of baling twine and beginning the weaving process. I always share my tomato staking method when I start, so if youā€™re new here, keep an eye out for that post in the next week or so!

Question for my fellow greenhouse peopleā€¦

Now that itā€™s June and weā€™re firmly into the growing season here in Zone 5B, what are you using your greenhouse for?

This is my first year having a permanent greenhouse space, and honestly, Iā€™ve only ever really known a greenhouse as a place to start seeds in the spring. Once planting season is over, what to do with it the rest of the year is kind of new territory for me.

I do plan to start cabbage, broccoli, and other fall garden crops in a few weeks, but Iā€™m not quite ready to start those yet. I was also thinking about trying mums this year, but Iā€™ve never grown them before. Am I already too late to get started on those?

So tell meā€”what are you growing, starting, or using your greenhouse for this time of year? Flowers? Succession plantings? Something completely unexpected?

Iā€™d hate to see the space sit mostly empty. Right now, itā€™s basically home to one lonely lime tree my mom bought me in Arizona. If all else fails, I guess Iā€™ll just grow limes and start selling margaritas. šŸ‹ā€šŸŸ©šŸ¹šŸ˜‚
