So my decision to go vegan has obviously changed my mind about keeping hens and work has been diverted from building a hen yard to focus solely on the vegetable garden. I had planned to reuse some old raised bed frames for my veggie beds but they turned out to be more rotted than I expected. Four of the ten were salvageable so any veggies that can't fit in will have to go in pots or straight into the ground.


I also made some very tasty soup today. I just threw together a bunch of things, but it came out with a rather Mexican flavour (mmm, cilantro) and is especially tasty with some whole wheat tortilla chips. I made a big enough batch that I froze some so when I work late and come home exhausted I can still have a healthy dinner.
