Made from our own homegrown blackberries

Iris domestica, blackberry lily or leopard lily, typically grows 2-3' tall. Lily-like, deep orange flowers (to 2" across), heavily spotted with red dots, have 6 petals. Flowers appear in early to mid-summer in sprays above the foliage on wiry 3 foot stems. Sword-shaped, iris-like leaves are in flattened fans. Pear-shaped seed pods split open when ripe to show a blackberry-like seed cluster. Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Likes moist soils, but poorly-drained ones, particularly in winter, can be fatal. Clumps slowly expand by creeping rhizomes. May self-seed in optimum growing conditions which helps keep these somewhat short-lived perennials in the garden. Blooms July & August. Will be sold at other times of year, but please understand they won't be in bloom out of season.

Set in Tennessee, CHICKEN STOCK plunges the reader into the midst of rural America’s struggle against corporate agriculture. I'll sign your copy with a personal note to you or to the person you'll give the book to as a gift. Please email me at sllytle@blomand.net with any specific requests. Said one reviewer, “There is a crisis in rural America that is nearly hidden to the rest of us, but Chicken Stock exposes this crisis. This gentle novel has a quiet strength and powerful message.” Go to www.leslielytle.net to read an excerpt. Most of you know me as an organic farmer who raises most of what she eats. But I have another hat. My short fiction and poems have appeared in a number of literary magazines and journals. I'm also a staff writer for The Sewanee Mountain Messenger and author of the nonfiction book, EXECUTION'S DOORSTEP, a behind the scenes look at five men sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit (University Press of New England, 2008). Published by Hedgehog & Fox, Boulder, Colorado, CHICKEN STOCK is my first novel. Note: the price includes sales tax.
