Organic Gardening Magazine and a mutant grape

Here's a recent post from my blog to prove that I'm a real Garden Guru! At the bottom of my post I refer to Donald, who was our cockerel (young rooster).  We adopted three baby chicks that were all sexed to be girls, but sexing isn't 100% accurate so there's always a chance that you'll end up with a boy like we did.  We live in a suburb so we felt we couldn't keep him, so a farmer from the Farmer's Market helped me to place him with a farming family who are in the National Guard.

I just got the October/November issue of Organic Gardening Magazine!  This is the bottom of page 12, photographed in my golden sage plant.

Woo hoo!

Also, today Alan found this strange mutant grape, no I didn't grow it.  Have you ever seen anything like it?  Not only is it huge, but it has ribs like a pumpkin!  After photographing it, Alan cut it up and fed it to the chickens.

Joel gave my contact info to Donald's soon to be new family.  His new "mom" wants him to come to the farm soon, before she deploys to (I think) Virginia to train combat helicopter pilots later this month.  His soon to be new "dad" has just deployed to Iraq.  Their son will take care of the farm while they're gone.  In the mean time, we're trying to photograph Donald a lot and shoot videos of him before he goes.  He's growing into quite a handsome cockerel, and he still likes to sit on my lap!

That's it for now!
