June isn't actually summer here in Montana - it is late spring. With that in mind, I try not to get too frustrated when things are lagging well into June. Instead, I try to celebrate successes. Here are some recent accomplishments:
I harvested, washed, and cut up the rhubarb.
I bagged up enough cut rhubarb to last for all of 2009-2010 in freezer storage.
I bought 15 baby chickens- some I will keep in my flock, some are for a friend, and some I will sell to other chicken keepers in town.
I made a delicious pizza using the "thinnings" from my rapidly maturing spinach row.
I enjoyed our lilacs.
I found the first strawberry flower of the year.

How exciting! I’ve been eyeing the neighbor’s rhubarb myself, and just had a delicious rhubarb strudel from the local bakery. Also have my first garden this year, and I love tending it and get so excited watching it grow. I keep debating whether to get chickens or not. Thanks for sharing, and the wonderful pictures. That chick is really cute.
