Garden stuff

- We're growing some eggplant this year, including some skinny Japanese eggplant. We got three of them, which made a perfect amount for some venison stir-fry.

- I have one Jalapeno.

- I have a pile of very spicy radishes.

- The lettuce is doing well.

- The tomatoes can turn red any time now.

- The broccoli is very leafy, but not growing any broccoli florets, which is kind of sad. Venison stir fry is good.

- The corn has started to grow ears, but I'm not sure how well these are going to come out given how the frost really whacked them.

- The electric fence is 1/4 up. I need to do the rest, but so far the deer haven't gotten to anything.

- The cats (lovely critters) have killed or scared enough of the birds that we have blueberries. I grabbed a couple of cups on Thursday to make buttermilk blueberry pancakes for breakfast, and then Liz and I picked about a quart of them on Saturday. She made muffins on Saturday, and I made scones on Sunday. There are still some left, so I might make more scones tomorrow night.
