Boxes, boxes, and more boxes....

I've just started packing and I'm already tired of looking at boxes. I'm so excited to be moving into our new house at the end of the month. Some of my blogs maybe less than exciting this month, but after we get settled in our new house, I want to focus on gardening, baking, cooking, canning, and most importantly home brewing beer again. If there is anything you guys want me to blog about, I would love to get some feedback.

Our new house has a huge, ugly concrete patio. I'll probably get some large planters and maybe do some raised beds. If anyone has some experience with either planters or raised beds, let me know. I have some great books for reference, but some real-life experience would be great.

Also, we'll start home brewing with all-grain, instead of extract. Anyone who knows about brewing beer, will know what I'm talking about, but for those who don't: extract is like a beer syrup, which is used in simple home brewing and all-grain is the way professional brewers do. I hope we can also start kegging and stop bottling. Bottling is just a lot of work and cleaning.

Hope everyone is having a great day on this sunny Seattle Tuesday.
