What the heck to do with BUCKWHEAT?!

I just watched a P.Allen Smith program, and he suggested planting buckwheat to draw predators like aphids away from your vegetables. Further, he suggested buying lacewing eggs to scatter below their stalks and they will eat the aphids. Remarkable.

I love this idea. It looks really pretty blooming.

Ok April, you're in charge of the Fireman's Pancake Feed Breakfast Banquet. Just let us know when, where, and what time.
Potluck, right?

If we all were close I definitely would. I love having big eating events out here at the farm. Breakfast is one of my favorites. It's comfort food.

The smell of bacon, hot syrup....
....I just bought a counter top griddle with a warming dware (anyone know how the heck to spell that!)...
I make a strata usually as I can do it the night before, with farm fresh eggs and homemade bread.

We have a broken down porch that seats 4 banquet tables and looks out towards the front field. Right now the lawn is mowed all pretty and the fava beans and rye grass are brilliant green out there. We have a large swing set and a 2 story playhouse with slide that the kids get on to stay out of our way.

It is a little piece of heaven out here and it would be grand to share it with you all!
