While Will has been very busy spreading manure in our Wolf Garden, where he’s close to finishing, I’ve been canning up our first batch of asparagus. From that picking, I ended up with 11 pints, so I was very happy! Of course, I had picked a small batch two days ago to make a quiche for dinner or we would have ended up with even more. But boy was that quiche wonderful! I cut up two small sweet peppers, about two cups of asparagus and an onion, tossed in \u00be cup of grated cheddar cheese and mixed it up, dumping it into a pie crust. Then I whipped up eight fresh eggs, poured them in on top of the vegetable mix and sprinkled \u00bc cup of cheese on top. Baked at 350 F until done. It was a wonderful supper, and we even had leftovers for the next day. Yum! I love this time of the year when our chickens are so generous, and the garden is starting to produce nice, fresh food for us.<\/p>\n

We’ve got a whole lot of asparagus to cut in a couple of days.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The rhubarb is coming along so fast, I’ll be making my first rhubarb pie real soon. Mine has a thick meringue on top, thanks to those hard-working hens. I’ll admit, I use four egg whites for it, so we get a real big meringue.
