I LOVE Polls

November 24th, 2008

I’m a big fan of internet polls. I’m not sure why, there’s just something about them that I get excited about. I don’t know if it’s the instant standings or seeing how you rank with others, there’s just something about them I LOVE! So Mr Chiot’s added polls to my blog. I’m so excited! So take the poll to the right, I would love to know what your turkey plans are for this Thanksgiving (you already know mine).

    I voted, we bought a turkey from the grocery store, we’re having a Thanksgiving meal at our church.

    I’m grocery-guilty, but I did spend the extra $$ for the organic/hormone free turkey. I generally don’t eat meat, so this is a special occasion for me.

    I have to admit, I didn’t know where to find a local turkey…

    I found mine through LocalHarvest.org. They are a great resource for finding all kinds of local things (as well as non-local specialty items).

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
