Rugby Solar Cafe

By 8 AM, I had harvested my entire crop of garlic (the first I ever planted) and a few tomatoes and volunteer potatoes. I had pitted peaches, plums and cherries for a mixed fruit right-side-up cake, and made a sage-thyme chicken broth from last night's chicken.  By 9 AM, the cake was done and the garden was weeded, and I was ready to start the rest of my day. Summer on the urban homestead, or as James, Josh and I call our home: the Rugby Solar Café.
