Merry Christmas From Chiot’s Run

December 25th, 2009

Since I don’t have all your addresses and mailing out cards to everyone that read would cost a fortune, I’m sending out Christmas Wishes to all of you on my blog. Here’s the card we sent out the family & friends this year. I bought a few cookie cutters from Cincinnati Cake & Candy Supplies and baked up a batch of sweetness for our cards. After a few hours of baking (and eating cookies) we snapped a few photos and our Christmas postcard was off to the printers. I would tell you where we got them printed, but since I wasn’t too happy with their service, no blog love for them.


We got our cards finished a little later than usual. We were waiting for snow so we could make a short Christmas movie card (since that’s what we do), but we got no snow. So we had to make up a card late in the season.

Merry Christmas from all of us here at Chiot’s Run!

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.
