Welcome to the Chicken Cam!

June 10, 2015 by Brett Youmans 13 Comments

Live chicken cam in HD! Come visit the chickens: Easter Eggers, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock, Black Copper Marans, Bielefelder, Cream Crested Legbar, Blue Isbar, and a Rhodebar all named after my favorite Downton Abbey characters!

I never thought I would be so amused by these feathered creatures.  I also had no idea they would have such diverse personalities or the joy I’d have from them eating out of my hand or running up to greet me.  I have spent more time than I would … [Read more...]

How Does Your Garden Grow? | Early Spring, 2015

April 14, 2015 by Brett Youmans 1 Comment

Subtle changes happen quickly and if you're not paying close attention, you miss the details. Like the swelling of the rose canes or the blush of the muscari before it pops open revealing it's beautiful lavender color. Butter-colored daffodils opening right before your eyes like a time-lapsed video. Or the cracking of the soil as a seed plumps up and starts grow, breaking the surface. It's spring and it's beautiful. How Does Your Garden Grow? | Early Spring, 2015 | GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

I absolutely love this time of year in the garden.  Subtle changes happen quickly and if you're not paying close attention, you miss the details.  Like the swelling of the rose canes or the blush of the muscari before it pops open revealing its … [Read more...]

Kraemer House Garden | Apples on the Tree | October, 2014

The garden is slowly creeping towards its winter slumber.  While I love every single moment I get to to spend here, spring and fall are my favorite seasons.  I love the frenetic energy that happens in the garden early in the year and the more relaxed … [Read more...]

Beets are one of the first things I get planted in the garden every year. Depending on the variety, they’re ready from seed to table in about 60 days. While we mostly associate this versatile vegetable with its deeply hued taproot, did you know the leaves are also edible? As they grow to maturity in the garden, I enjoy clipping the leaves for fresh crisp salads and quick stir-fry dishes. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com

Photo of jelly jars filled with Lavender-Strawberry Jam Spritzer Cocktail. We make strawberry jam every year and always have it on hand so it seemed natural to use it as a sweeter in this cocktail. When mixed together with a bit of lavender syrup, vanilla infused vodka, and club soda, you’ve got something quite special. GreenThumbWhiteApron.com
Strawberry blossoms are an indication of a heavy crop this year.
Perfect Steamed Eggs! The only sure-fire trick is to use old eggs. As eggs age, they gradually lose moisture through the pores in their shell and the air pocket at the tip expands. The pH of the whites also changes, going from a low pH to a relatively high pH, which makes them adhere less strongly to the shell. Farm-fresh eggs will always be tricky to age. Ideally, buy your eggs a week or two before you plan to boil them and let them age in the fridge.
